Why does Microsoft not update their set-up program to read media other than
a floppy? When needing to load "third-party device drivers" for SATA
controllers, my floppy driveless machine requires a floppy drive. =/

Any work around for this?

Thanks! That looks cool as heck, if I can only get it working!

I certainly hope that Vista has the need for a floppy eliminated. This is
the only requirement that keeps floppy drives from becoming obsolete. I
swear it is almost exactly the same set-up program that the 1st release of
WinNT used.
