XP install problem

I keep getting the blue screen during XP install attemp. I have a SATA HDD and system with the IDE setting chosen in BIOS. I have a Intel DP45SG board and i have the SATA controller floppy disk that camewith my mobo in the floppy drive and during XP install, it asks me to choose the controller to boot with. There is a long list of controllers to choose from from the Floppy disk. I dont know which controller to choose?? any advice?

Re: XP install problem

If you have IDE or PATA emulation mode selected for the sata controller in the bios, with AHCI and RAID modes disabled, I don't think that you need anything that is on the floppy. Try removing it from the floppy drive, and starting over.
