Answer» Hey This may sound like a stupid question but i'll ask ANYWAY. I bought a new PC at christmas and didnt realise it didnt have a floppy DRIVE ( i thought all comps had one!!??). I was wondering if it is possible to install one and if this is possible would i need to get a floppy drive made from the same company as my computer which is a HP. Also what would be the best floppy drive to get an internal or external drive? Thanx a bunch.Floppy drives (now sometimes referred to as legacy drives) are options now days, not standard equipment.
If you feel you will need to boot from the floppy drive at some point they you will need an internal one, if not, then either will do.
Any brand of internal floppy drive should work just fine in your computer, you just need to make sure you have an OPEN bay to install it in.
Of course all of this assumes you are talking about a desktop computer not a laptop.
hi thanx for the reply. just another stupid question to ask. Whats an open bay? My computer has plastic where the other model which has the floppy drive with it is. If it HELPS my computer is a HP t741 product number:PP088AA thank yousorry the product number above has a mistake in it the code is PP088AAThis is your computer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?dlc=en&lc=en&product=439672&lang=en&cc=us&docname=c00265186
The drive bays are the space behind the plastic.Hi Yes you can fit a floppy drive into your comuter your motherboard should have the connection it is just the matter of buying one and fit it or get someone to do it for you it's very simply to do.
