    drivers to floppy root
    press f6 at start of setup (xp)
    insert floppy
    choose correct driver

    If does not work possible driver/floppy corrupted
    I'm using Windows 7 - you got a problem with that?

    OK I am ... Are you wanting to build a RAID and then install the OS on it or are you just wanting to use a SATA drive (single) to load the OS on?

    wanted to load xp onto the single sata drive, i drive 12 disks, bought new ones, still gives me a prob, but i found a way around the floppy install its ugly but it works, i installed my junky 4 gig hdd, installed xp onto it, installed raid/sata controller, all drivers, rebooted, ghosted it to another junky 3 gig hd, the rebooted enabled raid controller, and ghosted the image from the 4 gig to the 80 gig sata driver rebooted once it was done, powered off, took the junk drives outl and vala it works, just wanted to do a clean install, this was a last resort to see if tid work,
