Hi
I got this bag of crap laptop that requires a raid driver on OS install.
I've done this before on some old pc of mine as the installation couldn't find a hard drive.

Now cus its a laptop it has no floppy drive and I have no floppy's cus no one uses them any more cus they suck!

Any other way of doing this, or will i have to get some crap usb floppy drive?
cheers

If you are going to slipstream etc, these are the original driver packs -

The SATA drivers are in the MassStorage pack mate.

Well it took some doing but I've managed it!
It did involve using magic iso to unextract the drivers from a floppy img file and then use the recommended progs to build a new xp disk.
After that the instalation deteced the drivers and all was well.

Cheers guys
