I am due delivery of components for my first PC build tomorrow morning and reading forums in extra readiness i noticed that SATA HDD have to have SATA controller drivers loaded from floppy during winXP install.
This prompted me to worry..
In my embracing of all things most advanced i have stupidly done 3 things.
1. Got a SATA HDD
2. Got a SATA Optical drive
3. Got no floppy drive
Ok once the laughter has pettered out please just confirm or refute my question
Do I need to buy both a Floppy drive and a non SATA Optical drive to ensure hassle free winXP installation?
Thx for laughing with me and for the help.
