Convincing Setup to look at a CD or Hdd folder for SATA drivers

Is there some simple way to force Windows2000's setup to use something other than
a floppy for this purpose? I have not been using floppies in new systems for several
years, but as these SATA drives become more and more common, the annoyance of having
to find a floppy drive and attach it long enough to load the drivers is aggravating.
Surely there's an entry in an INF file that can be altered?
What do the administrators of businesses with hundreds or thousands of PCs being
upgraded from IDE to SATA do about this problem? Surely they also have been skipping
floppy drives! (While the subject is open, does W2K's younger brother, XP, have
a similar, or a less-difficult way to handle the same thing?)
