So I had to hit F2 and reenter BIOS and move Diskette drive back to #3. I unplugged and replugged the USB device and still nothing. Hit F1 to try again and/or F2 to re-enter Setup.
It paused for awhile and a light would flicker on the USB Drive.but then I would get a black monitor image with. So far so good.except in the HDD Sequence in B above about the USB Device.Īfter changing these items, I shutdown and with floppy in the USB drive, I rebooted. In the last item, Boot Sequence, I had the sequence with checkmarks making them active as: (1) Diskette Drive (2) Hard-Disk Drive C: (3) IDE CD-ROM Device. it still shows (1) System BIOS Boot Devices and (2) USB Devices (not installed).Ĭ. In the Drive configuration for Diskette Drive A. Here's the way I had it until I had to change it back some, especially the boot sequence.Ī. OK, I was able to set it up following your input and that went very good. just the full space for CDROM type installation. It works fine while in windows.įailing that, if I must, I will get an internal floppy to install but looking at the front of this 4600 tower, there's not a viewable opening for a 3-1/2 floppy drive.
So my question, is there any way that a USB floppy device can be setup to run outside of windows. I tried going to the command prompt and changing from C to A drive, and that doesn't work either. I have a floppy I wish to use, Memory Diagnostics, but when inserting it in the USB Drive, and rebooting, it doesn't recognize the floppy and continues to bootup normally. Also, under:īoot Sequence (1) HDD - C: and (2) IDE CDROM device. HDD Sequence (1) System BIOS boot device and (2) USB Device (not installed). My problem is that I want to use this drive prior to windows booting up. So I purchased an external USB2.0 floppy drive. I ordered this Dell 4600 2/3 months ago and failed to notice that I wasn't getting a floppy drive with it.
