Installation Hiccup

Trying to install windows XP onto my SATA hard drive. Copied the drivers from the mobo CD and pressed F6, this installed the driver fine. My hard disk formats and partitions fine, so setup copies the files required. When the computer reboots, I remove the Floppy with the drivers and the windows CD, expecting to continue the installation process, but it just tries to reboot from the CD again. I have tried leaving the CD at this point but it just takes me back to the start of the installation process. I've tried changing the boot order of drives in BIOS at this point too, but it still insists on trying to boot from CD. IS my SATA HD not being recognised, or have I got it plugged into the wrong connector on the mobo? Is there something else I need to do in BIOS?
Any help greatfully appreciated :D

    What MB do you have? This is a common problem - once we know what hardware you're dealing with I'd bet we can point you to the place to find a solution. :)
