I don't understand how this issue has so many replies.

If your computer doesn't have a floppy drive, the solutions is to simply BUY A FLOPPY DRIVE.

I am totally new to Vista. I just bought a new computer and it has an OEM version on the HDD.

Well, surprise, surprise! I don't have a 3.5 floppy. I do on my old XP based machine. And I've got a lot of stuff stored on floppies. How can I access this in Vista?

In addition, how can I boot from a floppy in an emergency when there IS not floppy?

Thanks.
