first XP install problems

I'm trying to install XP on my new machine using a NV7-133R in a RAID 0 setup...I know that the board works because I had it running in Win98SE before. The setup is telling me that there are no mass storage devices detected and that I need to insert a disk with drivers. The problem is that I didn't get a floppy with the mobo and the setup won't read from a CD. What should I do here?
 
Yeah, you got screwed. Motherboard manufacturers can be pretty stupid sometimes.

What you need to do is either boot to a DOS prompt using an old Win98 boot disk (if you have one) or any DOS boot disk with CD-ROM drivers on it. Then search your CD for the drivers and copy them to the floppy.

Otherwise, if you have access to another computer you could download them from the web and copy them to a floppy.
 
Since you are posting here I assume you have access to another computer. Download the drivers for your board and put them on a floppy. Make sure there is a file called txtsetup.oem with your download and make sure it gets put on the floppy.
