Sata Boot disk

Hi can anyone please help i have a Asus P5B Deluke motherboard.

My hard drive is a SATA device, and when i try to install windows the insalation starts ok and copys files acros but then when it restarts it is unable to see the hard drive.

I have been told i need to make a boot floppy disk with the SATA drivers on and press one of the F keys at the start of the instalation to load the SATA divers.

Can anyone please help

Regards And seasons greatings

Moving this to hardware, motherboard and bios, you may get a quicker response there
