slipstrem drivers

Is it possible to slipstream the via kt600 sata raid drivers onto the windows xp pro cdrom so I don't have to press F6 and insert a driver disk because I don't have a floppy drive?

Is it possible? Yes. I saw someone do it in another forum but he had to write a program or something to make it work.
Here we go:

More info I found:

Can SATA work without an F6 install of drivers?
"You can if your bios has an option for sata legacy mode. This means it will use the default drivers for winxp.
But this is bad because performance is cut in half for SATA. As far as not having a floppy to install I think at this point it would be tricky."

Is it a windows or motherboard issue with SATA drivers?
"The case with my Asus P4C800 Mobo that has native SATA support thanks to the Intel chip. So, I've got 2 SATA ports plus the two standard IDE ports on the mobo. LIke you say, not much to do with Windows, but with the mobo. "
It looks like Intel chips have Native support while AMD nForce do not.
