K8T Neo2 - SATA problem when installing XP pro SP2

Question

hardware
MSI k8t neo 2 with athlon 3200+
2*512MB corsair and no name
ATI radeon 9200
HDD maxtor 200GB and HDD samsung 200GB
The mainboard offer 2 sata controller, but i can't success to install windows on,
1) If I use the promise fasttrack sata controller :
I boot from my xp installing CD, hit F6 and load the drivers from the floppy drivers, I choose where installing xp, and when he start to copy the data he ask again the ftsata2.sys load from the previous floppy disk drivers, and here he refuses to copy the file(but he is accessing to the floppy).
I'm stuck here because without this ftsata2.sys files he refuses to continue the process.
2) If I use the VIA sata raid driver :
first, he found only one HDD the maxtor.
I boot from my xp installing CD, hit F6 and load the drivers from the floppy drivers, but there the process stop because he cannot found the HDD.
PS: sorry for my English, I'm french speaker but not french, (Switzerland ) x)

Yep, I agree.
But: what are you trying to set up? Are you trying some RAID with these drives? If so, it is preferable to use two disks that are the same size (you have that) but also the same make and model.
I'm just trying to install windows xp sp2. I don't use any raid settings.
