Intel has released new mainboards (with D3xxx chipset) that do no longer
support floppy drives (diskette stations). Intel however still provides
drivers for RAID on a diskette (very odd).
Microsoft's OS Setup (F6 for extra drivers) explicitely requests drive "A:"
and
no other media drives when installing extra drivers! That also applies to
Vista Setup.
Microsoft's support operators asked about a solution for this prehistoric
drive problem clam up and don't understand the problem when explained ("so
you have a computer with only diskette drives?"; "Just connect a floppy drive
to the mainboard."; "I only can file a complaint for you".).
Anyone out there being able to explain how overcome this problem (no: not
buying another mainboard having a floppy connector) to get SETUP to look at
another drive (CD/DVD) for installing those drivers?
