I'm thinking about getting a decent (cheap) IDE HD, get a matching (also cheap) SATA HD and run them in a RAID configuration.
It wont matter, you still need a floppy if you plan on running any kind of RAID setup. Winxp will ask for the drivers right in the beginning of install--it will ONLY look on a floppy drive. Whether its SATA or a promise controller or whatever. The only time it wont is with onboatf RAID
