if your hard disk are connected to a third party adapter then yes you may have to press F6 to install the drivers.

you will need to put the drivers on a floppy disk as windows stupid install won't pick them up from the cd.

SATA is bad news as far as your concerned.
Do you not have a recovery disc as opposed to an xp install disc?
