| 753363 | 2009-06-13 07:13:00 | Well true but some people may still use them. I dont tho | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 753364 | 2009-06-13 07:13:00 | Floppies? I think we can agree that they've well and truly died. They're still needed, I still use em for BIOS updates. Almost dead. But not yet. |

| 753367 | 2009-06-13 07:18:00 | In 99.9% of cases your right. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 753368 | 2009-06-13 07:20:00 | Good point, I didnt bother with SATA drivers before. But, I've now slipstreamed them in an XP 32 / 64 bit cd. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 753369 | 2009-06-13 08:00:00 | I use floppies on all my machines for the same reason as Blam6 for updating the BIOS although I will probably get an ext one soon as I still play with older PC's at home that don't support USB booting | gary67 (56) | ||
| 753370 | 2009-06-13 08:08:00 | If your mobo supports EZ flash 2, (If your mobo is an ASUS), you dont need a floppy. The option is in the BIOS. All you need is a USB flash drive, and the update. A lot easier to flash the BIOS. All the P5Q mobos probably have it. Well the P5Q SE/R does | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

But when I'm out fixing older PCs they do not have this feature always Blam |
