Hi TCB1,
It's boot to Windows XP Professional SP3.
You could try this. I'm not sure if it will work. Download the SATA drivers you need, then get the .sys file of the driver and put it in the Windows/System32/Drivers folder, then get the .inf file of the driver and put it in the Windows/inf folder.

You could use drivermax to locate the Sata drivers you need. Also it has an archive function that extracts drivers from systems. www.drivermax.com

I am not clear and don't know how to do it. Can someone help me step by step to do this? Thanks.
If I understand correct, you have bootable usb flash that contains XP with sp3? This should able to boot on other machine if the boot order set boot from usb, regardless sata or ide.
There are instructions for using nLite at the site, and they include pictures. That documentation is available here. All you need to do is select your preferred language.
