I've never tried it with a flash drive. I think XP automatically looks at the Floppy drive and you can't change that.

I'm still confused as to how you have a RAID array with only one physical drive in the machine. Redundant Array of Independent Disks...Disks being the key word there. Are you absolutely sure you only have 1 hard drive in the machine?

I'm off break now so my usefulness has come to and end for now. hoepfully someone can pick up where I left off. Goodluck!

Yes, as far as I can see there is only one listed in the specs for the computer. I can't see why HP would list it as a 350GB hard drive and have it be 2 drives. I haven't opened it up though. Would the bios change itself if you add an external drive? I see RAID drivers in the recovery portion, so I'm guessing that's just the mode it works in. Now to figure out a way to access those without a floppy.

I hope someone can help, thanks for all of yours.
