jkresh Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I am building a new system (parts shoudl be in wednesday or thursday) and wont be including a floppy drive. I would guess that it is possible to flash off of a usb key but a confirmation that it is possible would be nice. Specs U2ufo blue standard top, 7 panaflow ultrahighspeed (probably at 7 volts) dfi nf4-slidr 4400xt xfx7800gtx wd 250 16megs cache maxtor diamondmax 10 250 16megs cache plextor 16x serial ata dvd burner 2 gigs ocz 3200 2-2-2 PCp&C 510sli cooling once build is tested thermochill 120.3 with ps120.3 shroud swiftech storm mcp655 pump lunasio dfi chipset block maze4 gpu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katch Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I used this little app http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hp...load/20306.html and a windows xp boot floppy. If you have no boot floppy or drive available do it at work or something, after that its all sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
