I'm still stuck going around in circles.
I downloaded a driver but I can't get it on a floppy. I tried using a cd but that won't work either.
I read this information from another site

(a) In case you install W2K/XP you MUST hit "F6" immediately after the blue welcome screen pops up. After hitting "F6" you will be asked whether you want to install a driver for a storage device not included in the W2k/XP own device driver inventory, confirm this and push the floppy with the RAID drivers in the slot. Soon afterwards you will be asked to select the RAID driver from the floppy, and then the selected drivers will be loaded. You find the necessary drivers either on the RAID controller installation floppy disk, or -in case you have an on-board controller- copy them from the mobo installation CD to a floppy. In case you have Win98/ME, it is NOT necessary to load any "outside" driver during the installation process. You have to do this AFTER the first boot into Win98/ME. AGAIN: if you have W2K/XP and if you miss "F6", means you don't load the RAID drivers from the floppy, there is no way that W2K will work: When you try to boot for the first time you will be greeted by a BSOD, because W2K cannot find the drivers for the RAID controller and cannot recognize the RAIDed HDD. In case of XP some older RAID controller drivers are already included in the OS, in that caes theoratcially it's not necessary to hit F6. But the newer ones, for example for SATA controllers are not included. You should therefore always work with the F6 key and load the dirvres during installation from a floppy.

So obviously I need the drivers but can't figure out how to install them.
Can anyone help me? I'm just about in tears over this.
Thanks
