Help me find a sata driver to boot XP!

I'm installing a new XP system but stupidly forgot to setup a floppy disk with sata drivers on so the XP can see my motherboard.

My Mobo is a MSI P6NGM which is based on the Nvidia GeForce MCP73 chipset.

Had a look around but cant seem to identify the drivers I need and all the nvidia stuff seems to come bundled as a package.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Not sure, but isn't that board new enough that the SATA drivers are native?

Have you thoroughly examined the CD that came with the motherboard for this driver package? I don't think you need one unless you have the controller set to RAID or AHCI - running the SATA controller in native or IDE mode shouldn't need a driver.
