Hi there,
Im trying to install my windows again, but i dont have a floppy driver/disk to install my raid drivers.

Is there anyway around it?

if you had said vista then yes you could put them on a cd as i did
however with xp i think it can only be done via floppy disk

nope you have to have a floppy drive. That can however be a USB floppy drive!

If you have access to another system then you can slipstream an XP CD (using nLite etc) with the raid drivers (no need to press F6 during installation). Have done this a few times and no problems so far

a floppy drive from the shop is like £4 quid.. and I suspect a pack of ten floppy discs even less.

Drivers for your RAID device can be found online and a floppy created in another pc.
