Does your computer have a Floppy drive?

[lee101]

I've got a floppy drive, but don't keep it in my pc, i use my usb pen drive for transferring files, the only time i have found a floppy useful is for SATA drivers when installing drivers, and updating the BIOS

I really don't use my floppy drive often at all, but I do indeed have one.

i have to have one when installling XP...have to press F6 to install ahci drivers also required for raid, and its still useful when i want to wipe the drive

hopefully vista will allow that stuff to be read from other media

 

[JFHuff]

never use floppy drives. Although i said no to the poll i do have an external usb one just in case i absoulutly need it but i figured that wouldnt count.

well, one of them does, 2 of them dont.

I warned you...I might do this.

Yep, there's my computer, as it has sat for the past couple months. Turns out my floppy drive isn't even connected, I just thought it was. Cables kinda go every where...I plugged everything back in and never got around to tidying or putting the case cover back on after the last time I had to replace something. Only thing that pisses me off is I don't ahve my front usb headers hooked up....and I need them...

Helloooo cable management.

Say goodbye to airflow

I can Honestly say... My case looks about simmilair on the inside atm...
( wich bring's me to the downside of having a side window... >.< )

I have a floppy drive but I disconnected it's cables long time ago.
I just leave it to fill the hole in the case

My computer has one but I cant say I have ever used it. I put it in there when i built it in case in the future i wanted to use it for something like my raid configuration but i have never gotten around to using the raid or configuring the drive...

are they gonna stop putting floppys in computers? like pre-made computers? and selling them?

not many people use them anymore, alot use cd-burners..

 

[Ku-sama]

alot of prebuilts dont come with them.... they arent standard anymore

 

[Verve]

I use mine quite often actually, cause I can't get my flash drive to work with my win98 computer.

I've spray painted an old white floppy drive (from a 1997 computer) black to match my computer case. As you can see it's shiner than the rest of my case though. (pictures link in my sig.)

You shoulda painted over that Celery sticker while you were at it....

Haven't had one in my computers for years. I don't think I personally have actually used one or had a need to use one for a good year or so either :\... Since I got myself a USB pen drive it kind of defeated the need for one, although before I even got that I never had a floppy drive.

I have everything on a network, otherwise I used CD's and DVDs. I have about well WAY too many CD spindles sitting around. They're disposable to me. As well as DVD's which I do use quite a bit as now my camera is using a 1gb stick and I share the photo's a lot. I recently transfered 785mgs through AIM which only took an hour. Not bad. Beat THAT Mr. Floppy drive.

Im actualy quite shocked with poll results.

i didnt think there would be that many people who still have one internaly or external.
