How to install SATA drives for OS install at bootup without floppy drive?

[jordan12]

Guys,

Whan I am doing is trying to install Xp on a SATA drive. But I do not have a floppy drive to put SATA drivers on.

Any options?

Nlite should let you slipstream them in. It's a shame you didn't have an Intel chipset board, or else you wouldn't need drivers.

I'll be facing this dilemma soon myself, I've been trying to think of a way to do this using a USB key instead of a floppy, I have no use for floppies either.

LOL! Why yes, virginia, we do have a search function!

And, I am guessing Windows doesn't have VIA drivers? (I don't know because I use Nvidia)

Fixed.

Works well with the bat option too.
