Hi there Ziggy, be welcome!

I'm not sure about this, but it could be that perhaps by faking a floppy drive, you could install this SCSI driver. What you should do, is make a dos-bootable CD with the subst command on it (comes with Windows as well). Put the SCSI driver on that CD and boot from the disc. Once you're at the DOS prompt, type "subst a: cdrom:\folderofthescsidriver\" You'll notice that a drive a now exists, with the contents of the SCSI driver. Then go to your Windows install CD and run setup (from the dir i386, run winnt32.exe).

One good tip: when running Windows install from Dos, you really should load smartdrv first. I believe smartdrv is on the Windows 2k/XP installation CD, but I'm not too sure about this. If not, the 98 setup disc (cd or floppy) can help you out for sure...

I hope I helped you out a little. If not, feel free to report back. I'm quite anxious to know wether my suggestion works or not..
