Windows SATA Drivers -without a floppy- on Xp Setup

[sorry for the stupid title i just couldnt find the right one ]

hi,

as all we know, if you are using a serial ata drive you have to supply the disk of drivers provided with the controller/motherboard in the windows xp/2000 setup (using f6 in the startup). thats ok, i know that, i did it before, but there is a bit of a problem over here: I HAVE NO F#$&%£NG FLOPPY DRIVE

i dont use it so i never thought of buying one as it will look extremely ugly in a clear case.

strangely windows 98 setup doesnt need that so i installed windows 98 thinking i may be able to install xp over windows 98. it all went ok until it restarted the machine, after entering the xp setup it gives a win2k style blue screen saying it stopped because there was an error.

right now i have a kinda dual boot system (windows 98 and xp setup) and i am definitely stuck! Is there any way to integrate the driver or change the way it searches for the driver? (i selected the "copy all files" option while installing xp over 98)

any kind of help is really appreciated

thanks.
