Won't it work of you do a build to a CD instead of a floppy?

yep cd like tenspace says try that should work or sort which drivers are specifically for your board and only put those on disk if you leave irelevent ones out should fit ok. 2.5 mb floppys available

he's not trying to raid 0 2 drives for the os partition. he just want his esata wd book external to work. which is just the windows 25mb driver below.
the only reason he needs the floppy is to install the os onto a RAID 0 partition, whihc is not what he wants to do. he has a single os drive, ide sata mode is fine with no driver. then install the 25mb windows ICH9 driver after windows is loaded, for the esta WD book. if that's evn rquired, I doubt it. my esata works on my abit P35 and gigabyte p35 boards inside windows vista without the driver. though xp may require it. if so dl the 25mb windows one. ignore the small one, that one is for a floppy bootable to load with the os on a raid partition. he's barking up the wrong tree with the preinstall driver for this situation.

ok, now I know why you have your username LOL!
you're grabbing the boot (preinstall one). get the 25mb windows one. ignore the preinstall, unless you want to raid 0 your os partition.
