Problem installing Windows on SATA HD?

Hi!
I was trying to install windows 2000/XP on SATA drive, but when I press F6 to install the SATA driver that came with the board, windows asks for the floppy disk with this driver. The problem is that I don't have a floppy drive installed in my PC and the drivers which came with the board - are on CD. Is there any way to install without using floppy disk?
Thanks!

Why would you not have a floppy drive installed? They're only like $15 and handy and cheap. If you really don't want a floppy for some reason you could probably borrow one from a friend and use it to get you up and running then give it back.
 
I know it's possible to add them to a custom XP installation CD but there's gotta be a way to browse for it without doing that.
 
Well, this is exactly what I'm lookin for - way to browse for the drivers from CD during the installation of windows. But how???
That's the big question... 🙁(((
