Please please excuse me if this is a common question, but:

I have a system (dual cpu opteron, ultra300 scsi (atapted 7902B)) for
which setup fails with a 'no hard disk drives recognized'.

System does not have a floppy disk. Is there any way to burn new drivers
onto a CD for setup ?

Is there anykind of USB floppy that setup will recognize?
Can I burn drivers onto a Compact Flash Card ?

Since I can't instal my sytstem, I can't take advantage of the free install
help - the help systems require a product id - product id is delived by
control panel - classic catch 22.

BTW : 64 Bit beta XP DOES install!!!

Thanks All
Stephen
 
Hi Stephen,

Unfortunately, there's no way to load those drivers from anything but a
floppy disk in Windows XP. Microsoft realizes that this is a limitation,
and I believe this is being addressed in the next version of Windows, but
that doesn't really help now.

Sorry,
