Temporarily fit a diskette drive to the computer or slipstream the
drivers onto the Windows XP CD. The setup program WILL NOT accept the
drivers from flash drives or other external storage devices, they MUST
be supplied on floppy diskette or slipstreamed.

Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003 setup
