wheres my floppy?

[dhorsman2000]

does my new HP Media Center PC not have a floppy drive? or is it hidden somewhere? I thought all comps had a floppy?

Most computers do not have a floppy anymore, unfortunately. It is a way for manufacturers to save $5 on a machine and the public doesn't care.

I will personally ALWAYS install a floppy in any machine I use.  

Is this the machine you cannot get to load or another?

A floppy drive can be added but i would suggest the local repair shop for this...they shouldn't charge too much for this.

Agreed.
But due to the extended lack of system info i was assuming...well you know.

Provided you have access to a CD burner and Smart Boot Manager, floppies seem pretty much redundant.  Especially given how the slightest bit of dirt completely wrecks them...  They're quite useful for bootdisks - especially for odd/server OSes, but that's about it.  Can't remember when I last used one.  Good riddance!
