Want to do a clean install of XP Pro on new 160Gb HD.
BIOS is XP2. Trying to upgrade BIOS to AO9 to accomodate 160Gb HD. All USB ports inoperable. Have downloaded AO9 on DOS-Boot Floppy on another computer using same external floppy drive on both computers. On Dimension 8100 floppy drive with USB2.0 connection will not operate on any USB port on Dimension 8100.
