That would likely be a Sata I type drive if you see the standard 4 wire molex for power as well as the thin wide connector standard on Sata II drives. For reinstalling XP that will primarily depend on the board and Socket type since the new Intell 775s and AMD AM2s AM2+s simply see XP go right on while older boards often need a driver floppy or you wait until the second screen bypassing the F6 option to press the S for special devices and select the chipset.
I ran into that on a friend's Asus A8V board seeing a VIA chipset there where a driver floppy was useless and he actually borrowed an ide drive I had leftover from an older build. When he never cleaned the case and the drive cooked the Sata I was what I looked at then and saw XP go on with the press S option and selecting one of the VIA chipset items out of the nForce and others seen. XP saw the drive instantly.
