Problems installing SATA

I just built a computer with a Western Digital 80GB SATA Drive, and an Asus A7V880 motherboard (VIAKT880). To make a long story somewhat short, When I tell windows I want to install a third party driver during the install, it takes me to the screen. It then goes through it's routine and asks me for a disk in drive A:. I copied the VIA RAID/SATA drivers on the motherboard disk to a floppy. I even used a SATA/RAI "MakeDisk" app on the CD from Asus. When I insert the floppy, it reads it (I suppose) and says 'Please Wait...' It then returns to the "Insert a disk into Drive A:" screen. I've tried different floppies and such, no luck. I done this with another SATA system and it worked fine. Now, here's where it really starts to go downhill: I hooked up a different floppy drive. After it shows the boot screen and the SATA screen, or whatever (the one that says Serial_ATA Ch_0: WD800, etc.) it starts making a really loud repetitive beeping. Like, with no pause in between. I tried the floppy i put in it earlier, and it did the same thing. I called Asus and they were busy. Planning on calling them again here in a minute. I've got a deadline to nail, people. Any and all help would be appreciated. :)

BTW, I couldn't find any SATA drivers for the northbridge or the southbridge (Southbridge controls SATA, so that's what I really looked for) that would fit on a floppy
