    I am going to buy the Z71v in a couple of days, and wanted to know, how I install my WinXP with integrated SP2 onto the SATA-hd. From my desktop I know how to add SATA/RAID-drivers during the installation setup using F6. How does this work with this notebook lacking a floppy-drive? I heard somewhere, that I would not need additional drivers, since they are provided with the SP2.cab extension WinXP now has, when integrated. Is this true? I did not find Intel drivers for the mobile 915-chipset family for the installation. I would be happy, if someone with one "SATA-Z71" could post, how to perform the installation. Thanks.
