My dfi Expert has a bad floppy connector and I'm really REALLY having problems trying to get my raid drivers installed. So many that I eventually said "Screw this" and decided to go without raid...only problem being that my original XP disk seems to only be able to see 130gb's of my two drives. These are 250gb Caviars (my bios and raid driver recognize them as 250gb). Operating System is WinXP PRO (SP 2 I think). I tried formatting my USB drive to emulate a floppy, I actually got the closest to success using this method. As windows would install the drivers, give me a single 500gb partition, but when it came to install the OS it would ask me to reinsert the drivers back into a non-existant A:\ drive, and I got forever stuck there. I tried using nLite, tried copying the data straight off to the cd, tried making it an ISO, tried using Nero to convert the ISO into a boot CD (It only has formatting for floppy and HD emulation, and neither of those seemed to work. NTDLR errors all around I even tried to do a really really complex workaround using XPISO, creating a Dos partition and trying to install it straight to the drive in FAT32, and then loading it from the drive....didn't work, not even with the original XP CD. ANY help would be enormously appreciated, as I've been without a computer of my own for 2 months, and the last week has been just because of this driver problem.
