Ex_Brit Moderator Staff member May 3, 2023 #2 Floppy drives aren't supported any more. You will have to search online for the driver.
mqudsi Mostly Harmless Staff member May 3, 2023 #3 Usually the BIOS doesn't recognize USB floppy drives. You'll need to boot from a USB drive instead and then switch to the FDD.

mqudsi Mostly Harmless Staff member May 3, 2023 #6 OK, the USB is probably not configured as bootable. What are you trying to use it to boot into?
