Thanks for the help Stefan,

I installed the Sata Drive Controller files when I first installed WinXP.
Do I have to do it each time I want to boot using the Win CD or Boot Floppy?


Yes, unfortunately the CD is unaware of the specific drivers you are using, so you'd have to provide them each time.

Optionally you can slipstream them into an xp installation... but honestly i doubt it is really worth the hassle.... unless you need to fix your pc so frequently that is :)
