Hopefully, you'll have stumbled over this already. The second item
listed on the Intel download site is what you're looking for.

Quoting from that page,

"Creates floppy disk for 32-bit OS with Intel® Matrix Storage Manager
8.2.0.1001 files - used to preinstall RAID driver (F6 during Windows*
setup)."
Which will take you here,

Ah yes a vigorous discussion containing much research and even fewer
solutions. I attempted the XP w/SP2 disk which also failed in the
same fashion but with a different bluescreen message. I think it
said "surrender, all your base are belong to us" whatever than
infers. My next trick is to install a floppy drive equipped with the
SATA
drivers. Then I would expect F6 to function properly. HOWEVER, the
drivers Intel Matrix Storage Manager of Intel G965 Express Chipset,
located at http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-022768.htm are
in .exe form. I am now trying to find them in their native
format in order for Windows setup to use them.

What a colossal waste of time and a I say "a plague upon yee Hewlett
Packard" for having not a single idea or resource to solve this via
chat support.

The F6 solution wasn't my idea, it was suggest by others, I
suggested that he slipstream SP2 in his installation disk. I don't
think that this is a SATA issue, I think that this is caused by
newer PCIe hardware that the original Windows XP setup doesn't know
how to properly handle. Apparently the OP doesn't want to go the
SP2 route so I don't have much else to add to help resolve the
problem. A case of the
proverbial horse being led to water... he'll drink when he is
thirsty enough! Intel has this to say about this pci.sys
installation error:

If you are installing Windows XP on an Intel® Desktop Board that
includes PCI Express* support, you must use Windows XP with Service
Pack 2, otherwise you may see the following blue screen error during
installation:

***stop 0x0000007E ( oxc 0000005, oxf9a380bf, oxf9e84208,
oxf9e834208, 0xe9e83f08
*** PCI.SYS address f9a380bf base at f9a31000, date stamp 3b7d8ssc

If you do not have an installation CD that includes Service Pack 2,
you can create a â??slipstreamâ?? CD.

Another alternative is to acquire a more up to date CD with the
updates already incorporated in the CD (I think it may only need
SP1). A different hard drive is another. Your F6 point is new to
me so just keep the information flow going <G>. The OP is spoilt
for choice! Which do you think is the best solution? Slipstreaming
or your F6 solution?
