If you bundle the SATA drivers with the CD it will find the SATA hard drive and format it.
There was also a WinUltra DVD that had Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 on it that had driver packs on it for every SATA device at the time. It also had a Tiny install with just the basics of the OS like XP. Used 48M RAM small hard drive space as well.
You could slipstream an install disk with driver packs using this website http://driverpacks.net/
I liked SP2 better than SP3 because SP3 needed more RAM or else it ran slow on a PIII like my father's PC and it had some sort of Vista features in it.
Someone did leak the MSDN ISO files on the Internet but Microsoft shut it down. The MSDN disks were always up to date.
Windows XP lost Internet support for IE and Firefox is no longer made for it. I know people who still run it for the old apps they bought and still using them. Microsoft Office 97 or Lotus Smartsuite 99 run great on XP.

Bear in mind that for WiFi you only get WPA2 support with SP3.
