    Benn trying without much joy to slipstream the SATA drivers for my CF-19 mk3 into a windows XP CD.

    I do have a USB floppy drive but when I do the old F6 it doesnt seem to recognise the drive.

    Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change some setting in the BIOS?

    BTW. Its a TEAC floppy drive which we've found work quite well with our old Toughbook m34s (unlike the Sony floppy drives which dont work).

    Tried this again. Hit F6 to install SCSI drivers etc then at the end it pops up.

    Hit S to select drivers but then it complains that there is no floppy drive. Even though the floppy USB drive is definitely plugged in the other USB port.
