Install OS and RAID Driver with no Floppy Drive?

I have a Promise FastTrack TX2200 RAID SATA controller in my PC that I want
to use the drives connected to it for my Boot Drive.

Though the IBM Server box that I have does not have a floppy. The Win2003 OS
CD does not have a built in driver for the Promise FastTrack TX2200. Is
there a way to slipstream the Driver onto the Win2003 OS Install CD?

Thanks,

How about purchasing a USB floppy drive and using that instead. They are
cheap and *very* useful.

Yes, you don't need any drivers. They work really well (have only used
Sony ones).

Ash.

Much to my Surprise, it was able to read a floppy... My guess that is a new
feature with Win2003 Server/WinXP...

Thanks!
