XP install - F6 feature & diskette

I am trying to get to the XP built-in repair feature because I want to use an old XP-SP1 system disk on a new Motherboard.
I need to go through the F6 feature during the XP install from cd because I need the UDMA drivers from the ASUS MB cd-rom. The problem is, when the time comes, XP asks me to provide the drivers through the diskette reader. Is there any way to direct the XP install process to a cd reader?
Some of the files are too large to extract to a diskette. I did try the diskette by including just inf and sys files, there’s always something missing like a xxtxt.oem file or other which I provide but then it asks for something else.
