Floppy drive problem.

[hotdog555]

I just installed my modded XPlite and got all the drivers working except for one, it is labeled as "Unknown device". This should re recognized as a floppy drive but it is not. I left floppy support on while I was making the XPlite install CD. I'm on a small form factor compaq p800.

your help is greatly appreciated, thank!

And nor did you remove floppy drivers?

It could be your floppy drive requires a driver not found in the original xp cd in the first place?

I have stopped using IDE floppy drives for since 2001 or so. I jumped on the usb floppy drive wagon quite quickly.

If nuhi should read this, it would be nice if floppy support for USB drives could be separate. If i remove floppy drivers it also removes support for my usb floppy drive, (sony something).

Oh shoot, I tired it again and this time floppy worked! Maybe I burnt an one of the older versions of XP I set up the day before. Gota take more care to label things more carefully next time I guess

thanks for trying to help though ^^

A good thing is to backup drivers so you have always latest versions, ready for manual install or nlite integration.

If you cannot export drivers from setup.exe typical problem, considering copying manually f.ex on my usb floppy, sfloppy.sys from system32\drivers, and sfloppy.inf from the inf\ folder. I havent tested this with floppy driver exactly but hoping it could work. at least ms hd audio seems to work ok by that method over here.
