Intel Matrix Drivers won't install + Stuck in PIO mode

I have a Dell DM051 motherboard, ICH7 SATA controller and the Seagate ST3160023AS 160GB SATA Hard drive.

The problem is that A) NO Intel storage drivers will install - I've tried the Matrix drivers (all versions available), the Application Accelerator and the ATA-100 drivers. All of them give me the "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for these drivers" error, despite the fact that the Matrix drivers should OBVIOUSLY work (I have an i945g chipset).

Another thing, the Primary IDE Channel for the hard disk is running in PIO mode. I think this is because of the chipset drivers refusing to work. This only happened when I upgraded to XP Pro instead of using the Dell OEM Home edition XP cd.

Any ideas? I'm open to all suggestions.
