that's not the driver - that is a self extracting file that creates the driver floppy disk. You run the F6flpy32.exe on another PC then put in a blank floppy and it creates the driver disk for you. If the XP installer finds F6flpy32.exe it won't know how to use it.

I know the problem is that the system asked for the driver twice. Once when selectioning the SATA Driver and again just before the system coping XP to the hard drive. The second access to the floppy
for the SATA controller Seems that it cannot find the floppy
