I want to built a system based around the Gigabyte EP45-UD3L and I want to use XP as my preferred os installed on a sata hdd. Is this possible without the hassle of using a floppy drive to install sata drivers?

You would not need SATA drivers. Probably not since Windows 95 or some such :)

You can however slipstream SP3 into the OS before starting, and that will ensure maximum compatibility and fewer drivers needing to be installed.
