How do you get NVIDIA SATA drivers on a disk to load?

For say an nforce3 ultra. I dont see any files that would work when i extract the driver install package that is huge. There is some IDE drivers but no SATA.
 
Use winrar to extract the drivers. Then go into the folder, then the IDE folder and WinXP folder and then copy everything in that folder *except* the raidtool folder to a floppy. You now have a SATA driver disk. Easy as pie.

which text file is used so i can go ahead and put it on the XP CD and not have to install a disk drive in this thing.

nvraid or nvatabus
 
As best as I can remember from my Win64 install, nVidia claims both are "required" in their descriptions but if I remember correctly if you don't have RAID all you need is the nvatabus. Check out the txtsetup file in the folder for more info as I believe in the case of the SATA driver disk that file is the one that governs. Although there's no reason not to include everything???
