Load the SATA/RAID drivers from floppy

For those who have access to USB floppy drives, here's the step how you want to get XP Setup to detect your SATA harddrive.[list=1]
[*] Attach USB floppy disc
[*] Copy SATA/RAID drivers to floppy
[*] Reboot and boot from XP Setup disc
[*] Look at the bottom of the screen and hit F6 when it says "Press F6 to load blah blah blah"
[*] A screen will show a list of drivers to load from the floppy which in most case only 1 item in the list
[*] Select the driver there and XP Setup should be able to detect your hard drive
[*] Resume XP installation as how you do normally
can these steps be applied to install windows for desktop?
