Help needed Quick re: Intels 64bit floppy raid pre-install method

Guys I am in need of some quick help,

I am just about to do a fresh install of Vista 64bit Ultimate and decided to go to Intels website to see if there were any new updated drivers for 64-bit Floppy Configuration Utility for Intel® Matrix Storage Manager.

There are and they are 8.2.0.1001, so I downloaded them but there is no exe file to create the floppy disc. I know there used to be on older versions.

Do I just copy the files to a floppy disc or what.

Also on the website it states Vista doesnt use the F6 method is this saying that Vista does not need these drivers pre-installed or is it saying that it doesnt use the XP F6 method.

They're here if anyone wants to take a look: -

You don't need any RAID drivers to install Vista on an Intel RAID adapter. And even if you did want to use updated drivers, it takes standard windows drivers (.inf), from any media (USB, floppy, CD, HDD) at the drive configuration stage (no extra keypresses required).

So why do Intel provide the floppy raid pre-install drivers for Vista 64 any idea
