IntelR desktop board DG33BU

Drives shows up in bios, upon installing windows and hitting F6 to install drivers for the sata, unable to locate the drivers with the installed software that the board supplied. Looked online and through the disc nothing.

Any ideas on where to find the drivers to toss on a floppy to get windows up and running. (If bypass F6 and go straight to install does not recognize the drive).
 
$opening = "::wavewave::";

echo = "
You've probably already tried the following two methods, so skip over them if you have.";

echo = "The floppy that came with the board should have all of the ones you need for SATA drives. Have you pushed F6 and loaded every driver at once? Some boards (mostly EVGA) requires around 3 or 4 drivers to be loaded before recognizing the hard drive.";

echo = "If that doesn't work, your floppy might be corrupted. If the CD doesn't have the drivers to drag and drop, might be a .exe file on there to create the floppy.";
 
(Fathers new computer, and didnt bring me with to purchase components...)

So Intel board, only 2x CD discs with it.
1-Extra crap Software/Programs etc...
2-Drivers - Searched it and online.. nothing

Its not like an asus CD that has the option (Make Disc) for the F6. Searched both and bios does see the HDD just upon windows install it is not recognized. Searched online, both discs and cannot find the drivers for it any ideas? See link below for the drivers that are on the disc. IDK maybe im missing something but I will check again.

You will have to find the mother board make and model. From there you have to use google to search for the drivers. They are not included on any XP disc that comes with the system.

If XP came with that system it should have the SATA drivers. If the disc didnt then you will haev to find them.
