| 418563 | 2006-01-06 00:04:00 | why not just install the drivers anyway? is it going to hurt it? The difficulty that I have with this is I haven’t had a floppy drive in this PC for ages and I’m not inclined to have to install one just to get SATA drivers installed for the SATA drives to be recognized! . |

They'll be on the mobo cd. DON'T use MS ones. Look for a RAID folder on the cd somewhere. It maybe a exe file, then needs running, so the files in it can be extracted to floppy. If u do decide to chuck a floppy in for now to see if it needs the drivers, you'll soon find out whether the install needs them. It'll say something like it cant find them, which most probably means, the install doesnt need them. |
