    i tryed downloading on a floppy but it will not read the hard drives i tryed this

    5.3 Pre-Installation Using the F6 Method

    Note:
    The Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped if you use the F6 Floppy
    disk utility provided by Intel. This utility can also be
    downloaded from the following website. These methods
    are applicable to systems configured for RAID or
    AHCI mode.

    http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=1809

    1. Extract all driver files from the installation package.
    See Section 7.2 for instructions on extracting the
    files.

    2. Create a floppy containing the following files in the root directory:
    iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat,
    iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
    iaStor.sys, and
    TxtSetup.oem.

    3. At the beginning of the operating system installation, press F6
    to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.

    4. When prompted, select ‘S’ to Specify Additional Device.

    5. When prompted, insert the floppy disk you created in
    step 2 and press Enter.

    6. At this point you should be presented with a selection
    for one of the following depending on your hardware
    version and configuration:

    – Intel(R) 82801GHM SATA RAID Controller (Mobile ICH7RM)
    – Intel(R) 631xESB/632xESB SATA RAID Controller (Workstation ESB2)
    – Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH7M)
    – Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
    – Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
    – Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)
    – Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)
    – Intel(R) 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)

    7. Highlight the selection that is appropriate for the
    hardware in your system and press Enter.

    8. Press Enter again to continue. Leave the floppy disk in
    the system until the next reboot as the software will
    need to be copied from the floppy disk again when setup
    is copying files.

    but it did not work can some one give me some ideas on what to do next
