Default SCSI Driver Needed During Install but No Floppy

I'm attempting to install XP on a machine that requires that I install a SCSI
driver so that the installation program can install files on the hard drive.
But, I don't have a floppy drive from which to install the drivers when I
press f6 during the install. Is there some way that I could copy the drivers
to a USB drive and install them off the usb drive instead of the floppy? Is
there some other way of which I am not aware to do get the SCSI drivers to
load during install without a floppy?
TIA

Default RE: SCSI Driver Needed During Install but No Floppy

We invested in a cheap $15 dollar usb floppy drive for that exact situation.
We seem to be getting in a lot of SATA hard drives and it helps out a lot.
Probably would cost a lot less to just buy one than figure it out another way.

There is another way: Integrating the drivers into the source media.

Easiest way to do this: www.driverpacks.net

You need the driverpack massstorage and driverpack base. You'll find
both files on www.driverpacks.net.

The BASE file also includes a How-To. Basically you self-extract the
base file, then copy the massstorage file into "driverpacks" folder in
the directory you unzipped the base file to.

Then you can launch the .exe file of the base and follow the steps.
Which method to use you can grab this information from the How-To.
