Does your motherboard manufacturer have SATA drivers for Win98?

I've got some strange cd with motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-8TRS350MT) where are
only drivers for PCI SATA Controler (so the help says). I can format the
drive with fdisk, I can install win98 on drive, but i get lack of data
transfer, and windows need approx. 5-10min to boot up. On the secon boot
(again 5-10min of waiting) I get blue screen with msg. that some important
files missing. :(
 
Anyone know if it's possible to install win98se on SATA disk???

If the SATA drive is set as the primary boot drive, win98SE should see
it as just another IDE drive. I haven't encountered any weirdness
yet, but then I don't use win98 as my primary OS, and I've only been
using a SATA drive for a month or so.

Yup. Done it with my Asus A8V on the secondary SATA drive (from the
southbridge's controller).
