Wanted to know if there is a way to use a USB thumb drive instead of a floppy
since some of our Dell servers do not have floppy drives.

Click to expand...

What happens (and I've not tried this) if you assign the USB drive the drive
letter of A: under the disk management snap-in? (I'm afraid it's the only
idea that I have other than considering a USB floppy which *should/might*
work.)

Anyhow, start > run > diskmgmt.msc > highlight the USB drive > right click >
change drive letter path > set the drive to A: > press OK and close out >
does that work?
