A driver for storage hardware, such as a SATA, RAID or SCSI controller that is needed to operate the corresponding type of hard disks correctly and that is not provided by the Windows installer. Consequently, you have to provide a floppy disk that contains the driver (which therefore may not be bigger than 1.4 MB) and press F6 when the Windows installer asks you to do so.
Putting the F6 driver on the floppy is the first of many challenges but a much greater one is getting the floppy to work on a laptop without a floppy drive.

Jim: Nah, I need an F6 driver and I don't have a floppy drive for the stupid laptop.
