Xp Sp2, RAID Controller

I'm sorry to ask this, I remember reading something about this, but I can't seem to find it again. And I want to make sure..

With Win Xp Pro SP2 Install, you do not need a floppy for SATA RAID controllers, correct?

Is the RAID array going to be your OS drive, or just a DATA storage drive? You only need the RAID Drivers at Install Time w/ F6 if the RAID Array is the OS drive...

So for a fresh install on Two SATA 16 200GB Maxtor DiamondMax in Raid 0, Using the Onbaord Raid controller of a DFI Lanparty Nf4, I'll need a floppy drive for the drivers?

Any way to put those drivers on a CD (even the windows CD install itself) so I do not need a Floppy?

It is possible to slipstream them onto the install disk,but it can be a difficult process.Just do a Google search and you can find many usefull links.

Thank you.

I'll look into it.

Yup - you will need the F6 + Floppy, OR you will need to slipstream the RAID drivers. I had success using nLite to add my text-mode RAID drivers to my XP-Pro CD, and I was able to have an unattended XP Install CD w/o having to hit F6! I was suprised it worked so easily. nLite also allows adding other drivers, Unattended Install, Hotfixes, Slipstream SP2, etc. A VERY cool free program...
