windows recognizes usb floppy drive + sata raid floppy during install?

[Shwick]

I'm going to be installing sata raid on a new computer and I don't want to remove my old floppy drive. Assuming I'm using a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 and a Windows XP Pro SP2 install cd, will windows recognize my usb floppy drive when I need to install the sata raid drivers?

It will be a huge pain to remove my old floppy drive from all those neatly organized IDE cables.

It depends on the model of floppy drive:

If you don't have a supported model, you could try this:
