Load Driver option doesn't recognize nForce drivers on CD

[Guest]

I need to load RAID controller drivers on my Dell XPS before the Vista
installation can continue. I downloaded the drivers from Nvidia, unzipped
them and burned them to a CD. I took custom install, and when it came to the
step to select the drive where I want to load Vista, I inserted the CD with
the drivers and clicked the Load Drive option.

It didn't recognize any drivers on the CD. I was expecting a box to come up
and select Raid Class Controller. I can't navigate to the directories on the
CD either.

Any thoughts or suggestions on this problem?

Thanks,

I did sucessfully install vista on a nVidia SATA RAID 0 array. You can see
my post "General Feedback: My setup experience good bad and ugliest" on 7/5

I copied the drivers files from the nVidia chipset WINXP\IDE\WinXP\sataraid
folder the root directory on a USB flash disk and performed the install from
WinXP onto a second partition. If you are performing a clean install
directly from DVD the USB Flash disk does not appear to work so you might try
to burn a new CD with these files in the root directory.

Thanks Kirk,
I did figure out that I needed to load the drivers into the root directory,
later. So I did get a clean install on a partition drive.

As a side note, I attempted to post this thread multiple times this morning
and kept getting a reply that there was an error and try again later. I
didn't think this question ever got post here. So thanks for reading my post
and replying.
