Question XP Pro reinstall/sata driver problem

Not sure if I should post it in here or the hardware forum.

I am reinstalling XP Pro on my HP laptop. Of course the laptop don't have a built in floppy drive, so I use a USB external floppy drive. The problem I am running into is I can't install the sata drivers because the laptop don't recognize the external floppy.

Is there anyway to get around this with the exception of burning the XP Disk and then slipstreaming the sata drivers onto the XP disk?

Thanks

viper
