Setup can't see my SATA Hard Drive

Guest

I'm trying to install XP 64 bit on a new system with a SATA hard drive. The
BIOS can see the hard drive but XP Setup fails because it says I have no hard
drive!

I know I have the option of pressing F6 to load drivers from a floppy but I
don't have a floppy drive!!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Floppy drives are extremely cheap about $10.00
you can buy one and hook it up temporarily that would solve your problem

I've got the same problem although I have a floppy drive but can't find the
drivers (the ones I found XP said weren't the correct one...)

Could anyone give a link to VIA SATA drivers ( for the chip with the K8T800
PRO )
