I'd like to add a floppy drive to my newish XP based desktop (which came
without), and am debating whether to put in an internal drive or get an
external USB drive.
Since I don't expect to be using it a lot (mainly to read floppies from
previous systems), I'm leaning toward the USB drive for reasons ranging from
convenience to leaving a free bay for another hard drive, but ...
what would I be missing operating-system-wise by not having an internal
drive, in particular anything related to recovery procedures? Would it make
a difference if the USB external could be made bootable (see thread "USB
Bootable Device" a couple of days ago)?
I have an OEM version of XP Home.
