I have Ultimate and am going to reinstall it using RAID. Now I dont have a
floppy drive for the RAID drivers so will Vista let me access my USB drive
( will put the required drivers on there ) ?

Yes, it does allow you to access your USB drive, as well as the DVD drive.
No worries there.

Vista supports installing the RAID drivers from floppy, CD/DVD or USB flash
drive.

See, for example:

http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install...ta_drivers.htm

I don't recall whether I have tried a flash drive, but I have used a CD.

It's a minor improvement over XP.

Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

Besides the answers you've already received, you may find the drivers are
already built into Vista and no additional drivers are necessary.
