Missing some irony tags here?
Well XP was introduced in ~2001 I think. USB and memory sticks have
already replaced 1.44MB floppies by then - at least I was already
building floppy-less computers by then and wondering about the stupid
setup routine reading "F6-drivers" hard-coded from the floppy hardware
address. Well some BIOS support floppy emulation of UBS drivers but then
it got even worse, after loading the setup routine it is unable to
locate any USB storage and emulation does not help any more since the
BIOS routines are not used any more... trapped...

How?
I managed to fill it with WPKG quite quickly, now I want to see it BSOD
;-). Probably this is a more-proper error handling than catching
exceptions with WPKG? (well, not seriously)...
