Can USB drive works as floppy drive?

When I unstall Windows XP, I need to press F6 to load the 3rd party driver
from drive A:, eg. I need to load the JMicron driver from drive A: if I need
to set up the JMicron RAID array. But, I don't have a floppy drive in my
computer. What can I do? Can I use a USB jump drive to replace and work as a
drive A:? How? Thank you.

I's unbelievable but XP's setup supports only legacy floppies
here. Even an USB floppy doesn't help.

You need a slipstreamed XP CD or at leased an slipstreamed XP setup
folder with your RAID drivers integrated.
Much work but possible:
