Floppy Disk Drive Compatibility Issues Unfortunately there are some floppy disk drive (FDD) brands being sold at the moment that do not work properly during a Windows XP setup. Even though you work through all the steps in this guide correctly, the installation will stop with a "no hard disk drive found" error when using such a drive. To avoid installation problems caused by such FDD brands, we recommend using one of the following Toshiba drives: TOSHIBA USB FDD PA3043U-1FDD TOSHIBA USB FDD PA3109U-1FDD TOSHIBA USB FDD PA3109U-2FDD TOSHIBA USB FDD PA3109U-3FDD (this number can be found on the bottom label of a Toshiba FDD) How to Install Windows XP on a Satellite L40 Non-OS Model - Page 4
