| 577008 | 2007-08-06 05:11:00 | Hi Guys When installing my RAID controllers drivers during the XP installation process it comes up that it requires them to be on a floppy only problem i don't have one. Ive got the drivers that i downloaded on a flash drive is there anyway to use these? |

I tried this the other day and it does detect it and you can select which driver to install but further along it tells you to put the driver disk in A: and it won't detect the flash drive as A: The only way to do it without a floppy drive would be to slipstream the drivers into Windows XP and make another CD. Use nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) to do this. |

I don't have one to test it, but it looks like it has that capability. Of course, it all depends on how recent your motherboard is and what features it has. As mentioned by CYaBro, you can use nLite to integrate the drivers into your Windows CD (along with SP2 and updates). |
