First, do you have the drivers? They are usually found on the motherboard driver CD and the latest versions can be downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer's website.
If you have the drivers, a floppy drive is needed to install them with the F6 procedure since Windows will only recognize an internal floppy. The motherboard manual usually explains the procedure to create a SATA/RAID floppy. It is not necessarily as simple as copy and paste. If you don't have a floppy, you can burn a slipstream CD from the Windows CD and the appropriate SATA drivers. I've never done that myself since I always use the floppy drive method. However, if you google for how to make a Windows slipstream CD with SATA/RAID drivers, you should find several sites that explain how to make one.
Edit: If this is a manufactured PC like from HP, Dell, etc., the SATA/RAID drivers can usually be found at their websites. You go to the motherboard manufacturer's website if it is a custom built PC. You know, like if you built it yourself.
