Install Floppy Drive

Posted on

Help and information with installing a computer floppy disk drive. After purchasing an internal floppy, I removed the floppy bay punch-blank, installed the floppy, cabled it to the motherboard and to power. BTW, there is no way to plug the cable or the power in wrong, because of notches on the plugs. Then I went into the bios and enabled a 1.44 floppy drive.

What is the problem?
Unable to install the AHCI or RAID driver using the F6 installation procedure because the system does not have a floppy drive.

How to fix it
Use one of these methods to resolve the issue:

  • Attach a USB floppy drive. You might need to enter the system BIOS and set the USB emulation mode to floppy.
    NoteNot all USB floppy drives are natively supported by the Microsoft Windows XP installation*. If your USB floppy drive is not recognized, try a different USB floppy drive.

  • Create a bootable copy of the Windows* setup disk that includes the RAID drivers. This procedure is called slipstreaming. Rerun the setup with the slipstream version.
