Nf7-s + Sata

[Goride]

I've heard that Asus motherboards need to have a floppy bios in order to get windows to install on SATA drives.

Do I need to do this as well with an NF7-S board? Or will it work automatically?

Could this be moved please?

when you setup windows, when it first starts it says "if you have any 3rd party raid drivers insert them now" thats when you hit whatever "F" key it is and install them off the floppy otherwise windows setup will not see the SATA drive
