Hello All. I am trying to setup a Raid 0 configuration on my computer, using 2 Western Digital 250 Gig 16 MG cache SATA drives. I have an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe board with the latest bios installed from Monarch computers, AMD 64 X2 4400, Coolermaster 550Watt PS, 2 gig corsair, Wavemaster case, 7800 GTX and two plextor burners (716 & 755). I do not have an internal floppy drive but I do have an external one. It seems every time that I hit the F6 key to load the drivers, it doesn't work. Setup keeps on telling me to insert manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk into Drive A:
One thing I have to tell you all in advance, I do not have any IDE optical devices. I am building a completely SATA System. I have to be the first idiot to try this so I can cry the blues to everyone. ;-) I have the hard drives right now on the Nvidia raid (black connectors) side and it recognizes the array, but I can not load the necessary drivers.
I have check the external floppy and I was able to read it when not trying to install drivers. I actually almost re-installed the bios from the floppy. Please help! I have been at this for 4 days and I have just plain given up hope on how to figure out the mess I created. By the way, I am a complete idiot when it comes to building things, so if you can explain it in steps for me to follow I would appreciate it. Thanks everyone for your help in this matter!
