I'm trying to install windows 2003 server standard x64 but it tells me that it can't find any hard drives. I know that you need the drivers and everything on a floppy or something like that but honestly, i just don't want to go out and buy a USB floppy.

Is it possible to burn the drivers to a CD and when it asks for the disk, i just put in the cd?

What kind of hardware is this? You should only need drivers if using a SCSI or SATA drives, and even then I find Server 2003 includes a great deal of drivers.

The only way to get this done without a floppy if you do need the drivers is to slipstream them into your install source. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/36/SESSID=3eddca279c523d2f32ebae14d1bf849e/
