Raid 0 Windows xp flash drive

[sedka]

I have a AW9D Max motherboard and two 160 gb sata drives. I want to raid 0 them together. I do not have a floppy drive. Does windows XP allow me to raid them together by getting the raid information from a flash drive?

Only XP Pro can do software RAID, if you're on Home you should use the RAID software that comes with your motherboard. Some should come with it.

The software that comes with the motherboard is on a floppy disk. I've transfered the data onto a flash drive. Usually, when installing windows xp, I hit F6 to install additional drivers. But it usually ask for "A:" which is the floppy drive. Does Windows allow me to use my flash drive to load the drivers instead of the floppy? That's what I ment
I'm debating if I need to go out and buy a floppy drive just for this.

nope..rather than buying a floppy though I would just slip stream those ******* RAID controller drivers right into your XP install CD
