I should finally be moving away from IDE this week. I'll just be using the new drive as a single drive setup. Is a floppy drive needed for windows installation, or is that only for raid setups? I'm using a MSI K8N Diamond motherboard.
First SATA setup soon - quick question

You probably will do just fine on the included Windows drivers.

If you're extremely concerned why not get a USB floppy drive? I use mine quite frequently. It's paid for itself in usefulness and portability.
buy a 4-Pin Molex to Floppy FDD Power Adapter Cable and save u some money buying a psu
or if you know how to do it. rewire the floppy power cable into a 4 pin molex
some info on here
