[Ham-Computers] Saga continues with new problem - XP install error

[R B]

You will need the Promise driver twice during the
install, First time will be when you have to press F6
to install other drivers and then again during the XP
install. I'm assuming the Promise driver is on a
Floppy? If so during the XP install and at the point
you get the "Setup cannot copy the file: fasttx2k.sys"
point it at the floppy drive (you may need to push
"Retry" until it prompts you for a location). Setup
should continue from there..
