I'm getting a new PC in three days and now I think...

How would I install the S-ATA HDD without a Floppy Drive/USB Key?

I have no idea. Is there a way?

Well in some mother boards u dont need to install SATA drivers, like INtel boards dont need u to put in the drivers

Put the hardrive in and it should pick up fine

I'm getting the Asus nForce4 MoBo, hope it's supported. :<

Also, how can I know if a drive is a S-ATA or ATA by looking at it? Or checking in the Bios, is it possible?

the SATA is very different from the ATA, SATA does not use IDE cables, its got its own connector.
