I just changed to using a USB stick after wearing out a couple of floppy disks. (I'm experimenting, so I reboot a lot.) It works wonderfully, and is much more reliable. Now I'm thinking of removing the floppy drive from the box, so it doesn't make that annoying grinding sound that floppy drives make when they check to see if a floppy is in them at boot time. I just ordered a CF-card-to-IDE adapter, and when it arrives, I'm going to try putting the CD on the CF-card for even more reliability and quietness. Be well... Lynn |
