What version of windows are you installing?
Every port on that motherboard is south bridge controlled so you shouldn't need to provide any drivers on a floppy to install windows on the drive.

Is the drive showing up in bios? Is the SATA/SCSI boot option set for the drive?
If this still does not work, download your SATA driver, and use the F6 option when installing.
Whether needed or not, the F6 option will work.
