winXP install on a SATA HDD

I know u have to press F6 when windows install loads up and asks
"press f6 if u want to install 3rd party raid or scsi controllers" or
something like that.

But when i press f6, nothing happens. I tried it on another keyboard, but it
still didn't work. :(

Someone please help

OK for some reason the f6 button wont work, but when it goes XP can't find
mass storage devices to install XP on, it gives u 2 options, of
1) pressing S and it will configure ur devices for u
2) pressing enter, to restart or somethign

After i pressed, S, it asked me to insert manufactures disk which i did
create before, and it allowed me to select my raid controller device driver.
:S

Weird, it works now, no more dramas :D. However, i would still like to know
why the F6 button didn't work. "I know its not my keyboard cos the other F
buttons work, ie when it asked for F2 to do automatic system recovery it
works, and i also tried another keyboard which the same thing happened"

Thanks.

Keyboards that cost $3 to manufacture and sell for $35 DO go bad!
