Using a startup disk in a RAID box

I just realized that a WinXP startup floppy disk will not work (can't access
logical drives) when the HDD is on the RAID controller because the MB driver
is not installed.
Anyone have a link to info on how to make a complete Win XP boot disk with
the ability to load the Promise control driver?
I found some info on MS "Recovery Console" but that seems like driving tacks
with a sledgehammer.
TIA

I'm no expert on XP and RAID ; but consider making a bootable CD
instead.

Either would work. I'm getting close to patching something together here
from XP "parts". I just figured there must be someone else getting under the
hood and customizing Bill's toy. Hardware guys don't do that? I'll go ask
over at the microsoft.public groups... Heh Heh.
