Re-installing XP

Guest

Hi,

I am attempting to re-install Windows XP (SP2) on my laptop, (HP Compaq nc
6400)I want to format the HD. I boot from my Windows CD and Windows does not
see my HD (I am assuming Windows cannot see the HD because it is a SATA
drive). I have copied the drivers to a USB key, but during "Windows Setup" I
am asked to put my "support disk into Drive A:". I do not have an A: drive.

Please help.

An external usb floppy, or slipstream the drivers into a new win
installation cd
I dont think there is any other solution
