Question about installing Windows on new build

[lewiswharf]

When I go to install Windows Vista Home Premium will I be able to take it out of the drive temporarily to follow the step below to install the RAID driver (I'm setting up RAID 1)? I only purchased 1 DVD Drive.

Loading the Intel Matrix Storage Technology RAID Drivers and Software 1. Begin Windows Setup by booting from the Windows installation CD. 2. At the beginning of Windows Setup, press to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver. When prompted, insert the diskette labeled Intel Matrix Storage Technology RAID Driver. Install the Intel® ICH9 SATA RAID Controller driver. 3. Finish the Windows installation and install all necessary drivers.

Normally RAID drivers are on a floppy disk. But if they are on a DVD, my guess would be that you could take the Windows Disk out to use the RAID CD/DVD.

Intel DX38BT doesn't support floppy so I'm sure its on the CD.

I could use a USB thumb drive with Vista, right? That way I'll download more up-to-date drivers from website with another computer...
