How to install SATA drivers if the hardware isnt installed yet.

I've just put together my new system and ive transfered my hard drive from my old system to the new one. However if I try to boot ether from XP or Vista, I get a blue screen with the same stop code. Before I took my old system apart, I tried installing my SATA drivers in advance, but it refused to install because it complained that it did not detect the hardware. How can I "pre-install" my stupid SATA drivers even if the hardware does not yet exist so I can avoid this silly design flaw on the part of Microsoft? (As you can tell, im quite irritated by this.) Thank you.
