| Floppy RAID driver (F6) Hi Guys, Can it really be, that there is no way around installing the raid drivers from a floppy disk during setup by pressing F6 ? I have a P5N32-SLI Premium, I was hoping there was a way around this maybe a usb stick could be used to emulate the old floppy drive. Do I really need that old floppy drive ?

| I know of no way to work around the floppy on XP. One of the few nice things about Vista is it allows you to install drivers from USB, CD, memory stick whatever

| You can try slipstream the driver onto a new install disc. Try nLite.
