USB seen as floppy
Rebuilding a server for client and installing win2k3 need to provide RAID drivers via F6. Don't have any equipment that has floppy capabilities. Can I use a flash drive in its place?
thanks

You could use a USB floppy drive.
Not all motherboards will actually recognize a USB-attached floppy. Google nLite and slipstream, and build a special distribution with the drivers pre-built, or perhaps you have a SCSI controller and SCSI floppy?
No way to make a USB pen drive emulate a floppy, any more than you can make a printer emulate a floppy.

May be there was a missunderstanding
I want to use the usb drive as an (A) drive
for specifying the RAID drivers to load windows.
The server already has the floppy drive. I want to be able to add RAID drivers from my laptop to the USB drive and have the windows install see that drive as (A)
