Raid floppy

[Veritech]

I was just thinking that,
technically if you had two optical drives couldn't you just insert the cd
with the sata raid drives in one while the xp setup cd is in the other? or
does xp setup only look for "A:/" drive?

Thanks

which is why you should always keep a loose floppy drive and cable on
the shelf somewhere.

It MUST use the floppy drive.

.... or maybe even in the system since a floppy drive is only
$10 out of a multi-hundred $$$ system. Nobody has to
"like" every single part in a full-featured system but
deciding to do without a $10 part then spending hours over
the life of the system trying to compensate for this is a
waste of time and lack of sense, IMO.
