After reviewing many posts here I'm guessing I'll have to temporarily connect
a floppy drive to to setup MCE on a new box with a RAID setup in the BIOS.
(?) I'm not finding any suggestions of putting the drivers on a CD to provide
the install routine when prompted.

Can an MVP confirm that I must use a floppy drive?

Thanks for the assist.
John

No - but you will find ways of integrating them into the installation media.

It is the easiest method. My suggestion is to purchase an inexpensive USB
floppy drive and just keep it around.

You don't need an MVP to confirm that, you either provide the drivers on
floppy or integrate them into a custom install CD.
