If, so how? Roger |

Windows Installer and USB Floppy.
Hi Roger,
If the BIOS supports it as a boot device, sure. I've done it with my laptop several times. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "RogerP" wrote in message ...

Windows Installer and USB Floppy.
Hi Rick,
That’s has been my experience too, but I have two new AMS socket motherboards, one for Gigabyte and one from FDI, that I can boot from the floppy, but the Windows installer can not find the Driver Floppy during installation. Both companies Tech Support say that’s the way it works. Have to wait and see if I can get and answer from one Microsoft’s people that can give some kind of work what is correct my experience or what Gigabyte and DFI are saying. Thanks for the reply, at lest I have two votes, yours and mine that it should work. Roger "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi Roger, If the BIOS supports it as a boot device, sure.
