Have you tried just plugging the HDD into the regular IDE ports and installing XP then? I'd also imagine that XP has drivers for the HTP366, since it is an older Highpoint controller, and XP does have HPT370 drivers with it.

Yup. Just wait to activate until you finish installing all the hardware.
If you see an exclamation point in device manager after the install, then we've got a problem.
