Bad news: no idea about the drives.
Good news: don't need them.

Ok, Bob, here is what I have seen about that message. Saw it the first
time IO tried doing an expert install. As I did not know what to do, I
just rebooted and made a normal install. Second time the message
appeared was when I was installing RH 6.2 on my Toshiba Satellite. I was
doing a *normal* install, but got the message! I just told the install
software not to use the drivers disk (cancel) and then it asked
something about special hardware from the drivers, which I answered
something like "no" or "cancel". Everything went fine and all hardware
worked great (just had to do some twickling to the XF86Config file).
