hello
i've just bought a raptor !
but have a huge problem installing it on the pc in my sig. the 2 ide drives are out of the picutre, both have data including corrupt windows installs on, when the pc is built i will ge tthe data off the them and format.
i also have a 10gb hdd if it helps sort outt his problem
basically, i want to use the raptor as my main drive. installed it in the pc, it posts fine and bios recognises the hard disc, as does the sillicon image chipset.
but then you get to the windows install. windows doesn't find the raptor, only the 2 120gb ides. so i need to install the driver for the SI. sata controller on the mb.
how do you install the driver? donig an F6 allows you to install extra drivers but redmond (being MFing shortsighted bastards [sorry for the langauge but i am so annoyed at this]) only allow you to install drivers off a floppy disc. i have no floppy disc drive.
neither do i have a floppy disc to install the drivers from. the asus MB comes with a cd with 2 folders called disc1 and disc 2, would I simply copy the files from there?
How do i get round this without a floppy disc drive?
