Top of the morning lads,
the other day I decided to give my PC a small boost and purchased two drives with the intention of joining them in a RAID 0 array (and use my smaller old drive for data backup storage). Now, I haven't done a RAID setup in zoinks, so I found myself in a bit of a pickle.
I've set everything up correctly in BIOS then got Win 7 64kb installer at which point I realised the system does not see any drives. Quick read of the manual revealed that I'd require RAID drivers on a floppy disk to go around that problem. Thing is...I got rid of my floppy drive ages ago, and even if I didn't, finding floppys these days borders a miracle as nobody bothers with them anymore.
So with that in mind - can anyone suggest any way to work around the floppy disk thing? Many thanks in advance.
