My laptop does not have a floppy but I can easily buy a USB Floppy Drive.

Will I be able to boot the computer from a floppy drive run from a USB connector on the laptop?

I have a P4 2.4GHz, 512MB laptop running XP Home.
 
i'm fairly certain, but not 100%. what brand/model laptop is it?

i want to point out that instead of spending that money on a slow 1.44mb floppy drive based on archaic technology, you'd be much better off getting a cheap 16, 32, or 64mb usb key thing. if your laptop can boot from a usb floppy drive, it will be able to boot from a usb key. it will be faster, more durable, and hold more.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
