Question

I need to install windows Xp on a computer withouth 3 1/2 drive.

I need to instal RAID drivers, and the install program ask for the drivers in a 3 1/2 diskette.

I have a USB pendrive. Maybe I need an diskette emulator. I prefer to skip burning a windows installation CD with those RAID drivers.
