Your going to need the SATA driver for your hard disk, and you're going 
to need a floppy disk drive.

You put the SATA driver onto a floppy, you boot the Win XP CD, and when 
it asks about "3rd party SCSI or RAID drivers", you hit whatever button 
it says and then it reads your driver from the floppy.

No, there's no other way than using a floppy drive. I got a brilliant 
USB floppy drive off eBay for about 10euro.
