Installing Windows 2003 Server and require RAID drivers at the &quot;press F6 for storage device&quot; point of install... but my diskette drive isn't working and I don't seem have an option during the install to change the source of the RAID drivers in order to proceed to put the OS on the new mirrored drive set. &nbsp;Any known work-around to supplying these drivers on a diskette? &nbsp;[Troubleshooting the diskette drive itself is ongoing but if I can skip ahead, cool.] &nbsp;Thanks.
