installing raid drivers without floppy???
Hiya all.
Have been suffering severe problems from my computer this last week, not only suffering BSOD, every 20 minutes. Thankfully i found out that it was an older version of the nvidea drivers that was causing the most of the BSOD.
Yesterday, i got another BSOD, and suddenly my computer wouldn't boot. Stating /system file was missing or currupted... press R to repair in the windows install menu..
so i go and try that with my updated windows xp sp2 install disk. No such option as it's custom made. (note, is loads a whole host of raid drivers before the install)
So i try an older windows xp disk, yes i get the repair function. Cannot find my drives. I try install, cannot find my drives. (note, this doesn't seem to load very many raid drivers)
I try the same with a windows xp 64 disk... no dice...
So my question is this. I should obviously get my own driver files and install them in the loading menu, f6. But my computer do not have a floppy drive.
So is there anything else i can do?
Do i need to figure out how to slipstream them, and make another custom boot disk?

1. Get a floppy drive temporarily into the PC
or
2. Try and integrate your drivers (which is a very hit & miss procedure)
For integrating:

Good luck and let us know how you get on
it seems the link is good, but unfortunately nvidea drivers are not included...
yes i run nvidea 4 chipset...
well i'm currently trying to find a version where someone has already put in the raid drivers... here's to hoping it works...
It cut my reformat time down to 32 minutes from disc insert to fresh desktop w/ drivers.
