    So, is the problem that you don't have a floppy drive so you can load the SATA drivers by pressing F6 on setup? Or is your DVD drive gone and you are not even able to boot off of the CD? Regardless, you will not need another drive unless your current one is gone. As a matter of fact, if you got a SATA dvd drive, it would compound your current problem. Unless you know someone who has a slipstreamed XP disk with the SATA drivers, you will need to load them the old fashioned way (floppy drive) as XP does not include SATA drivers in distributions.
