I've been messing with an Gateway M255 all week, trying to install WinXp Pro
SP2. I bought a USB floppy to assist in installing the SATA drivers. I
have attempted to use my bootable XP CD, the 6 bootable floppies, various
attempts at unattended & attended install CDs. and Lastly my ghost image
that works on the 10 other machine types in inventory.

The floppy sees the drivers but later during the install Windows claims it
can't find them. I've been told that Windows forgets about the USB floppy,
and that their is a specific list of USB Floppies that work. Does anyone
know where that list or something else I can try?

Integrate the SATA drivers into your install CD/media.

Yeah I've tried various methods of slipstreaming/integrating the drivers
into the CD...will check the link you sent, looks a bit different than the
others I read. I've been all over google on this subject.
