subject: Re: Supported USB floppy for F6 XP storage driver install?

From: "Gary Britt" 

Only in the Premium version.  Other versions have no F6 key at all
  The ability to load a driver from a floppy versus not being able
to load one at all is one of the principal reasons to go for Vista Premium.
