Anyone know of a way to make Windows XP Setup look in a different location than the floppy drive after pressing F6 to load SATA RAID controller drivers?

TIA, J

EDIT: Mods, just saw there is an OS section...please move, and I apologize for the mishap. Thanks, Jack

As for the question, I know there was some program that would remake a windows disk with some additional features, such as additinal drivers, automatically entering the key, etc etc... I'm sorry that I don't recall the name, but that's probably what you'd need. Maybe you could search on google some for such utilities.
 
Surely. I have created many. None of them work since my floppy is generating read errors (ID Address mark not found). I have tried swapping the cables and the floppy drive, to no avail. I have read much about this error as well. Seems quite erratic, as some have had good experiences with swapping out the floppy, whereas there are others (such as myself) who aren't successful at all no matter what they try.

Alas, I am in the position here that I am in: I need some other way for Windows XP Setup to get device drivers.
 
You could use some slipstreaming tools/methods, to manually put the drivers into the CD, and they would load at boot time.
 
hows it workin for you...I just had the same problem yesterday and decided I would just install windows on one of my hdd's and wait until i got some answers before worrying about it again.
