funkgab · 08-21-2005, 12:20 PM

Im building an computer for my friend, he says he doesnt need an floppy, but he has an SATA hd. Can i burn the ata drivers onto an cd?

yes, its called slipstreaming/unattended install http://unattended.msfn.org/ and if he doesn't do that he needs a floppy.

cant you just press f8 when it asks if you need to install raid drivers?

yes, but you need a floppy to do that.

If you aren't using RAID, you don't need to install drivers. Otherwise, just borrow a floppy drive to do the install.
