When you use the F6 option & insert the floppy you should see a number
(maybe) of drivers to select from. If you see nothing then either you didnt
create the floppy correctly or the floppy drive is at fault.
If you see a driver & its not accepted then you used the the wrong driver in
your floppy

Unplug the floppy drive and use an USB drive? unplug all hard drives apart
from your C drive?
from your C drive?

Without Slipstreaming the drivers onto a custom XP install CD, you will
need a floppy drive to install the drivers.

Since you mastered "slipstreaming SP3 into your XP, it would have been very
easy to slipstream the SATA drivers straight into you XP install using nLite
