New Install Using Raid

I have Ultimate and am going to reinstall it using RAID. Now I dont have a
floppy drive for the RAID drivers so will Vista let me access my USB drive
( will put the required drivers on there ) ?

Yes, it does allow you to access your USB drive, as well as the DVD drive.
No worries there.

Re: New Install Using Raid

Vista supports installing the RAID drivers from floppy, CD/DVD or USB flash
drive.

See, for example:

http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install...ta_drivers.htm

I don't recall whether I have tried a flash drive, but I have used a CD.

It's a minor improvement over XP.

Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

RE: New Install Using Raid

Besides the answers you've already received, you may find the drivers are
already built into Vista and no additional drivers are necessary.
