    Hi all,
    I have tried installing Xp on A200 using external floppy drive connected through USB port. I am able to see and format the hard disk but when installation is about to begin, the system asks me to insert a disk called intel Matrix Manager in Floppy drive and press enter. I do not understand why and yet the floppy is still in the drive. Efforts to press ENTER have not yielded anything. I have tried removing and reinserting the floppy but with no luck. Please help. Thanks

    You download the intel Matrix Manager for Floppy drive, extract using winzip or winrar, then use WinImage to extract the files from the .rom and put it in the floppy. Works for me.
