f6, load drivers for your SATA controller (first blue scren after the CD loads and it says hit f6 blah blah blah)

Or slipstream all of your patches, and programs into an image.

yeah windows xp's basic drivers don't include SATA drivers, so you'll need to provide your own via floppy disk. (I think SP2 has them included now?)

No, AFAIK SP2 did not include any additional drivers.
