Do a Google search for nLite. This software allows you to build a new ISO/CD that can include the SATA drivers so you don't have to figure out how to get a floppy drive working.
Another option is to get a USB floppy drive, connect it prior to powering up, boot to the CD and see if it'll accept the USB floppy drive as the source for the SATA drivers.

Sometimes a USB stick will work. I was able to flash the BIOS of my 220S using a combination of a bootable USB floppy and a 256mb USB stick.
I am surprised you need to install a special driver for that drive, though. It should install automatically.

I integrated the drivers into the Windows install and it worked perfectly.
The hard drive was recognized by Windows. It is partitioned and formatted properly and Windows XPP is functioning fine!
Thank you for the suggestion!:emotion-2:
