I don't know about you guys, but it seems to be a little ridiculous that in this age, I have to find a floppy disc drive to do an XP install, then find a PC with another floppy drive (if it's not USB) to stick the drivers onto.
I'm at my apartment and I am trying to get a new PC that I had built going. As it happens, I only have a spare shrink-wrapped OEM XP SP1 copy which I'd earmarked for this machine. I didn't consider the SATA driver issues at all. Now I'm fiddling around on the laptop to burn a slipstreamed CD, I'm thinking surely there must be a better way? I probably wouldn't need or want to do this again as I've tired a little of putting together my own PC's and the unnecessary hassle that causes, but it'd be good to know what other options are available.
