Substituting your own driver floppy for a driver CD?

[MichaelD]

During W2K setup, it asks you for SCSI drivers on a floppy. With me so far? Good. If you only have said drivers on a CD, you could just copy the appropriate drivers from the CD onto a floppy, and that should work, right?

What if it's not working...suggestions for what I did wrong, please?

Micheal, Win2000 has just about every supported SCSI drivers built in so there should be no problem with Win2000 installing without you installing any drivers. When it's finished installing then you should be able to update the drivers to the latest ones.

I just made the SCSI move over the weekend.

Darn. I should've been more specific....Windows lumps SCSI/RAID drivers together in the same category. Windows doesn't have HPT drivers built-in, unfortunately. That's what I meant. Drivers for the Highpoint 372 IDE Raid controller.


Thanks, though.

B---umpy.

That's more of less how you have to do it now-a-days... I know at least with my AMI RAID card, it came with drivers and .pdf manuals all on CD, so to load the drivers during an install you'd have to move the files to a floppy.
