When I attempt to install XP Home on a clone PC, I get to the point where
the install says something like "Setup is checking your hardware

remains on, and it just hangs. This PC doesn't have a floppy drive, so I
purchased a USB floppy. However, during the install process, I'm never
prompted to insert a floppy disk with drivers. How can I get the
installer to recognize the SATA drive if I'm not prompted for the drivers?
-Thanks
Don't wait for a prompt. As soon as it says "Setup is checking....," press <F6>. (Oh, and be sure Legacy USB support is enabled in the BIOS, just in case, since you're using a USB floppy.
