Hey guys, I'm ordering my drive for the new build today and I'm picking up a Baracuda 7200.8 200GB, either in SATA or IDE. But a buddy of mine tells me that I MUST have a floppy drive in order to install the SATA drivers and be able to use the drive. Is this correct? Can I just install the drive clean and install XP straight from the CD rom? For some reason my PSU resets everytime I plug ANYTHING into the floppy connector and I don't want want to have to run around hassling with a 2nd PSU just to install. That and I hear SATA has some shielding problems. Which way should I go?
