trouble installing Sata HD, plz advise

[imported_monkfish]

I am trying to install a Seagate Sata drive on a new box I am putting together using various parts I have hanging around my office. This is my first Sata drive, so bear with me. No raid, no IDE drive will be used.
Here is the drive I got, http://www.newegg.com/app/View...148-019&depa=0.DoI need to get the Sata power adapter? Do I need to have the sata drivers on floppy to Install Windows 200k?XP PRO ? Cause its an OEM drive so do I need to download the Sata drivers from my MB manufacturer, or from Seagate to install the OS? Any help will be greatly welcomed.

Yes, that drive requires a SATA power connector. A number of newer PS come with these connectors. If your PS does not have one, you will need the adaptor.

You will need the drivers. You get them from your mobo manufacturer.

Thx. Do the drivers need to be installed on a floppy(s)?

Yes they do.
