help with loading win XP on acer 5220 extensa

i would like some help with my acer 5220 extensa. i have followed the instructions for loading windows xp, pressing the F6 key and loading the drivers with my USB floppy, everything goes well until the final screen just after formatting and before loading files, the screen says "Insert Matrix Storage Manager driver with A: drive. like it wants more drivers. i'm lost.

i push the enter key and nothing happens. the same floppy is in the floppy drive. i don't know how to proceed, please help with advice if you can, thx.

i have solutioned the problem by installing a newer bios which had the option to install in IDE mode.
