Installing Windows XP on Serial ATA HDD

I've been having problems with installing Windows XP on a SATA drive.

Here's the situation: I have an ASUS P5KPL-CM Motherboard. I want to install Windows XP Home on a Serial ATA drive. I need to find, download, and copy drivers to a floppy disk. (Note: MakeDisk.exe is not on the MB's CD and I can't manually find the drivers.)

I've done this before, but I guess I'm just too tired to remember how. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

try to slipstream sp3 on ur winxp cd and install it

I was surprised to find that the appropriate drivers are not available on the ASUS download page for your motherboard.

Since you have a G31 chipset, it seems you need to go to the Intel site. I think this page may have what you are looking for.
