The windows installer cd stays in the cd-rom during installation.
The installer only looks at a floppy disk drive there is no option to specify location. Press F6 when asked for additional drivers.
If you buy a new Windows XP software, the SATA drivers are included with the latest versions.

You often need the floppy disk with the drivers on it. Although you could put these on a bootable disc.
The best way would be to start the Windows XP setup. At the very start you can press key (F8 I think) to install SATA drivers. Insert your disc and try that.
