    I have a old PC that has been replaced with an up to date notebook.However my notebook does not have a floopy on it.As far as I know the floppy drive from my PC still works.Is it possible to some how connect a internal floppy drive[which i have already removed it from the old desktop] to my notebook so I am able to use the data that is on some floppy disks that I have accumilated over the years?My notebook has XP pro on it with USB,and a few other port connections on it.

    Yes but I was just weighing any options that I might have.I hate for the floppy I have go to waste,but I thought of maybe the cost of a couple of cables oppose to purchasing a whole unit would be more logical?
