...which won't help. Well, it might if the OP isn't able to serach
the manufacturer's website for XP drivers, but it won't help his
current problem.
He's specified the SATA driver from floppy during install, and he's
getting file copy errors during installation.
This is very occasionally due to a bad/scratched CD or bad CDROM, but
virtually *always* down to bad RAM. Windows XP setup copies files to
RAM during the install and these "file missing" errors are very common
when the RAM isn't perfect. You can sometimes get away with ignoring
files, but sometimes you can't - it's a mug's game though. From
bitter experience on a *lot* of systems, don't mess around until it
installs clean without errors.
It'd be worth removing half your RAM and trying again. If this doesn't
work, try using only the other stick of RAM. As a final resort, buy
some more from www.crucial.com.
Once installed, Windows is more tolerant of memory errors - just not
during the installation phase.
