The Promise RAID drivers have to be extracted to a floppy disk- the
procedure should be in the ASUS manual. After pressing F6 to add 3rd party
drivers, insert the floppy with the SATA drivers when prompted. During the
installation process, windows will install the SATA drivers from the floppy.

If given the choice, extract either RAID or BASE drivers depending on what
type of SATA you will run (RAID or Non-RAID).

This is exactly what I did, but Windows Setup kept bring me back to the screen telling me to install a disk in drive A and hit enter.
