Check your Bios again.  Just because it recognizes the Drive in the Bios
you will still need to change the appropriate setting in the Bios to
allow it to use the USB Floppy.  At least that is what we have had to do
on some of ours.

Subject: CREATING NEW 2K3 SERVER PROBLEM WITH LOADING FROM FLOPPY DR

We're trying to build a new Windows Server 2K3, and since our server has
no floppy drive, we're using a USB floppy and while the BIOS recognizes
the drive, Windoes Server can't find the file it's looking for. We have
also used a USB thumb wheel which we formated to look like a Floppy
Drive, and same result. Unfortunately, Windows Server 2K3 will only look
for the Hard drive drivers on a "floppy" disk. We have a HP Proliant
ML110 and were trying to set up a raid. Any ideas on how to get around
the floppy issue?
