This jackoff wants to replace every drive in an already FAILED RAID5 array, which would be similar to replacing the heart of a transplant patient over and over again as many times as there are drives in the server.
What the hell is wrong with these people....

At so many businesses, the one arsehole who had the gumption to change a toner cartridge gets to be the de facto server admin. It's the equivalent of saying "I put some washer fluid in my car, now I'm a certified expert auto mechanic!!!"

Wait... so you're saying I'm not an automechanic? It was so hard to find that little washer reservoir.

I actually considered getting that game!
Someone needs to make a game for the drunkard IT person with the FAILED RAID5 and give these kinds of scenarios in the game....

This guy wants to install XP from a floppy drive.
It must be national ID10T Week.
-
How is this business employed as an MSP with a question like "what should I do when we take over this client?"
Um... I have an idea, download a crypto-virus to show the owner how bad they can be in a private lan!
That's a great thing to do....

OK you've overstated it. he's trying to install a driver for XP install, which only accepts the driver from a floppy.

No, he said it right in the top 3 sentences, "well duh, win 7 X64 on 1GB RAM and an Atom N450 ya that's the problem right there. So I'm attempting to reinstall XP, there is no recovery partition,"
He's trying to reinstall Windows XP using floppies.

OP is installing from DVD. Says right up top:
using F6 SATA-AHCI drivers from Dell support & drivers page
setup cannot see HDD without F6 drivers
boot system with USB DVD and USB Floppy attached

That's how I read it.
I don't know that XP was ever available on Floppy - I know Windows 95 was, but that might have been the last version. I don't recall ever seeing Windows 98 or later on Floppy.

Windows 98 had ~40 floppies for installation. I'm just old enough to remember that method.
