All my floppy drives were failed and I don't want to buy one for my new
system. Obviously the new system will have SATA ports and I intended to try
the NCQ for its performance. I remember reading some posting about
splitstreaming XP with drivers. With this I can install the driver without
first copying it to floppy. But I couldn't find the info any more. Anybody
can with me with this? Thanks.

Yeah...you want an application called nlite which allows you to
slipstream drivers, apps etc and build your own ISO

Just as an aside, I used a USB flash key which showed up as both an A
and D Drive, allowing me to stick my SATA2 drivers on the "A" portion.

My guess is that if "all your floppy drives failed" ... then, in fact,
they didn't! Far more likely would be the cables or possibly the
controller. However, a new floppy for a new system is a rather *minor*
cost of the whole system. You'll find that having a floppy drive can be
quite useful sometimes; as it can get difficult to create a bootable CD
or USB drive for special purposes.
