Ive never built a RAID system before... building this machine for an Electric company that requested RAID 1 and external backups.

I have this board ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G
I've set up the RAID 1 in the BIOS... I'm onto installing windows.

First try it would not detect the RAID so I'm guessing I need backup drivers...I hit F6 at install and now its asking for the driver to use in Drive A:...
problem is I have no Floppy disk?.. Can I put it on a Flash drive or CD?
 
OK thank u I read about that and Im planning to use BartPE to slipstream the drivers

however I dont know where the drivers are?? On the dvd theres only a few configuration files and MakeDisk.exe in the RAID driver directory... which I cant extract because I have no Floppy drive

the board is a 780G is there some kind of universal raid driver for this chipset?
 
The other solution would be to get a floppy drive, and connect it with the side panel off during the install. Then unplug it and put the side panel back on after the install is complete.

I just learned that there's a way when setting up the raid to let the software simply move over the boot disk data to the new hard disk so Ill try that

You have got be kidding me... That's ASUS' main support site. On the top-right, you'll see three drop-down menus ("Select Product", "Select Series", "Select Models")... Perhaps I shouldn't assume that you can figure things out for yourself, but let's see how you do this time ;)
