Problem installing Win2K

I have recently purchased an Intel Server, that has three 120GB SATA
drives connected in Raid 5. The controller is a Promise Fasttrak. THE
SERVER DID NOT COME WITH A FLOPPY DRIVE.

Problem is... when installing Win2K, I press F6 during the initial
setup to install drivers for the controller card, I then press "S" and
get the following error message:

An unexpected error (0) occurred at line 962 in
D:\nt\private\ntos\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

Not sure if this is because I don't have a floppy drive connected to
the server?

Please help. I am desperate to get this server up and running.

The easy solution is to temporarily connect a floppy disk drive
so that the setup program can read your drivers disk. Buy one
or steal one from another machine!
 
If your drive controller isn't natively supported then you'll need to temp
connect a floppy drive or look at doing an unattended installation.
