sata xp install..

Hi..just a quickie...

Doing a fresh install of xp on a sata drive.
When it asks to press F6 to install the third party drivers will I be able to load off the motherboard driver cd, or does it *have* to be a floppy..?

Reason is the folder that contains the driver info on the cd is over 6mb so obviously won't fit on a floppy..and I'm not sure which I need to complete the install.
If I habe the driver cd in the second cd drive will I be able to browse to it when asked?

Failing that, just what info do I need to put on a floppy?

Many thanks

It must be from a floppy.

The drivers should fit on a floppy easily. Check the CD again or go to the
motherboard manufacturer's web site and look for the SATA drivers as a
download.
