    I have an existing version of pre-sp2 Win XP (not bootable CD) that requires the use of floppy disks to install.

    Will a Z33A via a USB floppy drive be bootable for the install?

    This question has probably been asked and answered, but I can't seem to find an answer specific to the Z33A.

    Many thanks.

    With the newer BIOS, you can usually boot through an external drive. Check your BIOS settings to see if they offer an option to boot through external drives (usually in the boot sequence section).
