That is correct.
Just use your original XP installation disk and put copy the file contents of the XP driver folder I gave you onto the floppy disk drive.
Watch this video for how to install the driver...

I read this online: "Just remember that the structure of the floppy needs to be this way:
X86 (folder with the ahcix86.cat, ahcix86.inf, and ahcix86.sys files in it)
AHCIX86 (file)
TXTSETUP.OEM (file)
All 3 should be listed this way off the root of the floppy."
I tried to do this withe x86 and x64 drivers, only the x86 go further (while x64 says "cant load the file ahci64.sys"), but it says anyway the 0x000007b error 😕

I would create two folders on the diskette, namely 'X86' and 'X64'.
Into each folder, I would put all the files, i.e., the same files (32-bit and 64-bit) will exist in both folders.
So, no matter in which folder the "installer" looks, it should find the files that it wants to find.
