floppy drive

[Pat]

I have removed a floppy drive from one computer and installed it onto
another. If I have connected it up correctly how do I get drive (a) to
appear as one of the drive letters in My Computer. I don't recall having
software for the floppy drive installation.

Any advice is most welcome.

Get a small USB memory stick it'll serve you better.

The PC will autodetect it on boot up .. if the thing is in
good working order.

Another "kill the floppy' protester. Your assuming that the rig:
has USB
supports USB mass storage
supports booting from USB, amongst other things

why not let the floppy alone, a whole country's income depends on it....

it would really suck if you needed to install RAID or other drivers and you
can't read from the USB port at the appropriate time!

.... *and* if the floppy controller is enabled in the BIOS.
