So you need to get a USB floppy disk on a server, do you?

A connected USB floppy disk drive does not work when you press F6 to install mass storage drivers during the Windows XP installation process:

I have a server.. it has no floppy drive.  Now if I want to have SATA drives or something... I need to ensure that I can hit F6 during the install and get the drivers on the box...but ... hmmmmmm may need to warn someone about the fact that there might be times that you can't use a USB floppy... at least on a XP machine.  Wonder if the same is true for a 2003 box?
