Adding drivers to XP CD

Since I no longer have a disk drive, it would be nice if I could have my raid card drivers on the XP CD when it boots to install. Is there a way to do this?

Yes, but it would take some time. You will need to use a program like Iso Buster to get the bootable image off the disk, then copy all the files off.
Check this site. It tells you how to slipstream Windows XP SP1 into the Windows XP CD. Very good article, but what you need to read is the second half, starting with "Creating a Bootable CD". Do what they tell you to do, but while you have your XP CD open in Nero, just add your drivers to the disk wherever you want.
That should do it.

I have had no problem in the past slipstreaming and making a bootable CD, but I just dont know know where to put these RAID drivers on the CD when burning.
When burning it in nero or whatever program you use, create a new folder on the disk and lable it drivers. Then but the driver files in there. When you install XP from the newly burnt disk and it asks for drivers point it to, d:\drivers. Or whatever diskdrive the cd is in.
