Installing Windows XP onto SATA drive with no Floppy

I'm trying to install Windows XP onto my brandy new WD Raptor SATA 10000 Hard Drive, but my one and only floppy is no more (or my floppy drive is bad). Either way, I can't format or read from the floppy.

I already have a Hard Drive with Windows and everything on it, I just want Windows and my programs on the new drive. I wanted a fresh installation with all the updates so I was going to install onto the new drive instead of mirroring my old one.

Can I install Windows onto the SATA drive from windows or is there some way to fake it into looking for the drivers on a CD or network?
