Install raid driver without floppy

What could be the problem here? What system are you working on? What RAID controller do you have? What driver file are you using? I could assume a whole lot of things if I read this 4-year-old thread, but I'd rather do it once and do it right, from the get-go.

If it's possible at all, it would be a lot more work than just plugging in a floppy during the install. Apr 11, 1, 0 0. Thanks guys, appreciate hte help even though I still have to buy a paperweight.

People say that they don't have a floppy because they are "useless" or "don't need them anymore" and then run into a situation where they are not only usefull, but, in fact, needed. Until something comes along as an actual floppy replacement, with full support for booting etc, we will still need to have a floppy drive laying around at least, if not installed.

Hiya all. Have been suffering severe problems from my computer this last week, not only suffering BSOD, every 20 minutes.

Thankfully i found out that it was an older version of the nvidea drivers that was causing the most of the BSOD. Yesterday, i got another BSOD, and suddenly my computer wouldn't boot.
