I know this one's a pretty old thread revived by the_incredible,but let me tell you my view as well. When I bought a new system this june, I thought I had it with fdd and that I don't have to buy one coz I had bought Asus A8Ne with crash free bios and a boot cd with a backup bios in it.
But, as I was planning to have a sata raid array, I was shocked when installing windows that it still required me to fumble with a floppy.
So, unless the OSes provide us with alternates like installing raid drivers from cdrom, we have to flop around with a floppy.

Now thats sumthing which shows dat old things hav their own values.

No.
It.shows.how.idiotic.these.OS.ppl.are.
I.mean.why.should.I.copy.the.raid.drivers.from.the .motherboard.cd.and.put.that.in.a.non-reliable.and.outdated.medium.like.floppy.drive?
What.could.their.small.minds.be.thinking?
I.mean,the.os.itself.runs-off.the.cd.drive,whic.damn.well.means.that.a.cdrom .drive.is.present.and.working.
So.u.can't.say.that.the.install.team.thought.that. the.target.system.may.not.have.a.cdrom.

yes...srishb is absolutely correct.I have personally gone through the headaches of installing raid drivers in an array of systems,which fails to read a floppy...!!!
