I've checked the BIOS and floppy is there and listed above the hard drive so I would expect it to boot first with a bootable floppy disk in, but no joy. Any help would be appreciated.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Sep 2004 21:32:56 GMT dsp 2004-09-15T21:32:56Z Booting from USB Floppy https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/booting-from-usb-floppy/m-p/90272#M124059 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I've got a K215Z with an external USB floppy drive attached but can't get it to boot from a floppy disk.
