    xp service pack 2 & 3 install has sata drivers.
    If you are on SP1 then you can try the motherboard manufacturer website which won't be toshiba. If you have a driver disk from toshiba including the mobo drivers then there could be a 'create floppy' disk on there

    If you do have an sp1 disc, you could try slipstreaming sp2/sp3 into it and using that.
