NOTE: I'am asking this question before purchase of MB (ASUS P5B-E).
To instal tha SATA in AHCI mode, you add the driver when installing XP using the F6 interrupt when you first start the installation.
I've read posts that say - "you follow the prompt and load the drivers from a floppy".
:?: Is the driver usually on the supplied driver CD, or on a supplied driver Floppy? (They usually don't supply driver floppies nowadays)
If Floppy not supplied, does the prompt tell you to put the CD in the drive, then floppy in it's drive to transfer the driver over from CD to Floppy?
I'd like to know this question so that if neccessary, I will preload the driver onto a floppy from the driver CD beforehand)
Thanks,
