Can I install XP from a SATA Optical Drive

Before buying a new SATA optical drive and taking the old IDE one offline, I'd like to check that the XP installation CD will run in an SATA drive without the need for drivers having to be loaded first.

I'm assuming that all I will be able to set the primary boot device to the SATA optical drive in the BIOS?

as said, it depends on the bios, or motherboard you have. check it on the manufacturers website
