Missing Link
I have an Intel mobo with no FDD interface I need to install XP onto. When
RAID is enabled the HDD array cannot be seen by XP textmode setup so I need
to load drivers from floppy. After much searching I have managed to find a
supported USB floppy drive (TEAC) and during the detection phase the HDD is
detected.
However when it begins copying files it wants to start with the iastor.sys
from the floppy. Despite the fact that the file is successfully loaded during
the detection phase it will not copy. If I choose the retry option it does
not even look at the disk in that the activity light does not come on.
Suggestions as to how I get XP installed on this RAID array would be
appreciated.
