just got my 5793... need help

I ordered my 5793 without an os installed since I've had an xp cd laying around so after excitedly opening the box and pulling out the thing i threw in my xp install cd but the only problem is it says it can't find a hard drive in the system. When i check the bios it can see the hard drive. So i thought maybe the drivers are on the driver cd that came(weird place to look... i know lol) i haven't looked though because when i told the xp boot process that i have custom sata drivers it says it can't detect a floppy drive to install them from... so does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I hope I've been clear enough ^^;

EDIT

never mind i found the problem for some reason robsom memory was turned on in the bios now windows is happily installing its little bloated heart out

 

Yes, you need to disable AHCI, and Robson Memory with it...
Audigy has a nice guide on re-enabling AHCI after it if you want.

 

The robson setting in the bios also controls AHCI (advanced host controller interface) which lets your hdd use ncq (native command queueing); which increases access speeds. If you want to use ahci then as eleron said, there is a guide around to enable it once the os is installed, or you need to get the intel matrix storage drivers either onto a floppy (and a usb floppy drive obviously) or slipstream them into a windows install disc (there are guides on doing that somewhere too)
