I'm trying to install the mobo drivers for my new P5W and I seem to be stuck in an endless loop of prompts to make a raid boot disk. Well guess what, I don't have a floppy drive, and I unchecked the raid driver installation, but it's doing it anyway. Is there any way to get out of this loop? if I reboot it just goes right back to the boot disk prompt.

I just reformatted and reinstalled then installed the Asus drivers one by one. Problem fixed I guess but that's really annoying.

Sweet! I am amazed that the vendors still assume we have floppy drives. Haven't had one in years.

I really like how Vista lets you load drivers from a flash drive during setup.

With XP, it's not up to the vendors at all, so your blame is misplaced. It's a limitation of XP itself.

I was wondering if it would be possible to use flash drive in Vista...they should have done this for XP a long time ago...
