This fix should work on Windows 2000 and up. I have only tested it with a Sony USB floppy drive on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 x64 EDIT: Thanks go out to everyone who has added more drives to this fix. --- Windows Setup F6 USB Floppy Drive Fix Create your Storage device driver disk and open textsetup.oem Add the following lines to the bottom of [HardwareIds.scsi.(device name)] If this section does not exist you must create it! If your USB floppy drive still does not work, look for the hardware ID in the floppy drive driver's .inf file, and make sure any legacy floppy drives are disabled in the bios. CODE id = "USB\VID_03F0&PID_2001", "usbstor" #--HP id = "USB\VID_054C&PID_002C", "usbstor" #--Sony id = "USB\VID_057B&PID_0001", "usbstor" #--Y-E Data id = "USB\VID_0409&PID_0040", "usbstor" #--NEC id = "USB\VID_0424&PID_0FDC", "usbstor" #--SMSC id = "USB\VID_08BD&PID_1100", "usbstor" #--Iomega id = "USB\VID_055D&PID_2020", "usbstor" #--Samsung Here is an example file CODE #////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// [Disks] d1 = "Intel Embedded Server RAID Technology",\MegaSR,\ [Defaults] scsi = MegaSR [scsi] MegaSR ="Intel Embedded Server RAID Technology (Windows XP/2003 64-bit)", MegaSR [Files.scsi.MegaSR] driver = d1, MegaSR.sys, MegaSR inf = d1, MegaSR.inf inf = d1, NODEV.inf catalog = d1, MegaSR.cat [HardwareIds.scsi.MegaSR] id="PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&SUBSYS_10901734", "MegaSR" id="PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2683&SUBSYS_10901734", "MegaSR" id="PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2682&SUBSYS_81FF1043", "MegaSR" #--The following lines give additional USB floppy support id = "USB\VID_03F0&PID_2001", "usbstor" #--HP id = "USB\VID_054C&PID_002C", "usbstor" #--Sony id = "USB\VID_057B&PID_0001", "usbstor" #--Y-E Data id = "USB\VID_0409&PID_0040", "usbstor" #--NEC id = "USB\VID_0424&PID_0FDC", "usbstor" #--SMSC id = "USB\VID_08BD&PID_1100", "usbstor" #--Iomega id = "USB\VID_055D&PID_2020", "usbstor" #--Samsung [Config.MegaSR] value = "Parameters\PnpInterface", 5, REG_DWORD, 1 #////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// This post has been edited by spiff: Oct 31 2006, 12:50 PM

Press F6 at the very beginning of the booting, you will be prompted in the lower white bar and have a handful of seconds to press F6. Chack this if in doubt: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsys...xprepair1_3.htm About BIOS there won't probably be a "USB floppy" related entry, there might be a "generic" USB legacy support" or a "USB keyboard support" jaclaz

When my WinXP CD booted, I pressed F6. After windows loaded some drivers, it asked me if I had a 3rd party disk to load the mass storage drivers. (If so press "s"). I pressed S and nothing happened. I hit "enter". This error message came up: Section Files.scsi.raidclass_2k of the INF file is Invalid I pressed "Enter" This error message came up: File caused an error (0) at Line 2166 in d:\xpsprtm\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.C. More drivers loaded and then it said Windows is starting. A message came up stating that Windows could not find a hard drive.... and the system rebooted. I am totally clueless as to what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated. THANKS!!!
