i have a question, i'm ready to install windows xp on a brand new sata hard drive, and i know that i need a floppy drive to install the drivers. Since i don't have a floppy, can i use a usb memory stick and install the driver there? Or what are the options if i don't have a floppy drive.
thanks

Add the SATA drivers(and any others you need) into a windows installation using something like nlite....
