The drivers you need are here in the storage section. You are going to have to extract the AHCI drivers from the SoftPaq and slipstream them into a W2K installation disk. The easiest tool for slipstreaming is NLite. Winrar (not free) or somthing from this webpage(free)  will be useful for extracting the AHCI drivers from the SoftPAQ.

 

Here are a couple of methods for slipstreaming an installation disk. Be advised you must be an intermediate level or above Windows OS tinkerer to get this done. This is very frustrating and near impossible for most beginners.

one 

two

three from lifehacker.has a very good how-to

four  from Petri. This one is fairly good
