Question : Problem: Windows 2003 installation problem

I was trying to install windows 2003 on my new computer. I boot it up, press F6 to install 3rd party controller, go through the setup, and after it formats, check my drives and puts together files for windows to install. I get a message saying:
Insert the disk labelled:
VIA RAID Combo Driver Diskette
into drive A:

Press ENTER when ready.

the only problem is there isn't a VIA RAID Combo Driver Diskette.

I am running VT8237 as my onboard raid controller. I also have 2 80GB WD's.

Answer : Problem: Windows 2003 installation problem

I tried looking into workarounds for getting controller drivers to load off of a usb device, but I didn't really see much that looked usefull.  About the only thing you may want to consider is creating a slipstreamed installation CD that contains your serial ATA and RAID drivers.  There are a number of sites that have good information regarding this process.  Usefull if you don't want to have a floppy drive or you lose disks. :)
