For SATA Drives the following. Win XP Pro first screen asks me to type F6 to
install Raid or SCSI drives. Then I am to point to floppy that has the proper
drivers for my chipset so that SATA drive can be recognized by Win XP.

When I type F6, nothing happens, no prompt and the install continues to next
command and hangs first file copy to hard drive. No install continues.

Do you have a RAID set installed (2 hds),does the board have RAID,if no set
exist,the board and XP wont use the drivers youre trying to install by
F6,thats
only used for a RAID set,or if the controller exist on the board,if a SCSI
drive
is installed solo,no drivers are used in the F6 process.
