Error during installing Windows XP

[112]

So I tried to install Windows XP again, cause I wanted a clean install.

Then I got this error during the 'Setup preparation':

(Free translated from dutch "Setup can't find or save information about the floppy drives. Access denied."
When I click OK, the whole setup is canceled.

PLEASE help, thanks

Are you trying to use the floppy drive for any reason? If so, try
booting directly from the WinXP installation CD.

Are you trying to install to a S-ATA (IDE) hard drive? If
so, Windows XP is identifying it as a removable drive and
setup will not install to a removable drive. However, copy
the S-ATA IDE (not RAID) driver to a floppy diskette. When
setting up Windows XP from the cdrom, use the F6 key to load
the driver files. Set up should proceed normally afterwards.

Enter the BIOS and make sure that the first booting device is CD-ROM.
