Default How many still have a floppy disk drive?

I recently added a 250gb SATA hard drive to my Pc and believe it or not I had to put my floppy drive back onto my system to install the SATA drivers in dos when I was re-installing Windows XP - how old fashioned and stoopid is THAT?!?!? If I had taken the time to think about it I could probably have burnt the files to cd etc but I just thought i t would be easier to whack the old floppy on again.

Still - it's back in the bottom of the cupboard again now - in disgrace hehe :wink:

i didn't had to install any drivers for my 120gb sata?? its was just simply plug and play, although i had to format and partition it using partition manager?
