A connected USB floppy disk drive does not work when you press F6 to install mass storage drivers during the Windows 2003 installation process I have found a solution. In a microsoft website ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916196 ) you can see only a part of solution. Below is full info: You need to modify txtsetup.sif in i386 folder of your windows 2003 setup disks (this will work with windows 2003 R2 installation!). See Microsoft website: -------------------- The following USB floppy disk drives are included in the Txtsetup.sif file and are therefore supported for use during Windows XP installation: USB\VID_03EE&PID_6901 Mitsumi USB\VID_057B&PID_0000 Y-E Data; Sony part number 09K9835 USB\VID_0644&PID_0000 TEAC; IBM option part number 27L4226, FRU 05K9283 ------------------------------------ Find in txtsetup.sif: USB\VID_03EE&PID_6901 or USB\VID_057B&PID_0000 or USB\VID_0644&PID_0000 and, below, add for USB floppy disk drive models (HP, Sony, Y-E Data, NEC, SMSC): USB\VID_057B&PID_0001 = "usbstor" USB\VID_0409&PID_0040 = "usbstor" USB\VID_0424&PID_0FDC = "usbstor" USB\VID_08BD&PID_1100 = "usbstor" USB\VID_055D&PID_2020 = "usbstor" It is easy, BUT, this is not all! You need to change another block! Find (these strings will be below strings that you have added): USB\Class_08&SubClass_02&Prot_50 = "usbstor" or USB\Class_08&SubClass_05&Prot_50 = "usbstor" or USB\Class_08&SubClass_06&Prot_50 = "usbstor" and, below, add: USB\Class_08&SubClass_04&Prot_00 = "usbstor" Das it alles! That's all! Just write new distributive to a CD and boot!
