    floppy drive problem

    As lady luck would smile upon me, merely 15 minutes after I made the last posting, a friend sent me a file that fixed the problem. It is called Flash Path Monitor version 6.30.07 by the Smart Disk Corporation. It was a missing driver. The file reinstalled the missing driver.

    floppy drive problem

    I guess I could try partitioning and have both Win 98 & Win 2000. I haven't seen Win 98 in the stores for a while. Seems an expensive fix. I could borrow from someone that may have Win 98. Will have to look around. From reading other threads in tek-tips and other areas, there are other...

    floppy drive problem

    I just tried that. I got rid of the floppy drive, controler, and drivers. When I rebooted, I did so in normal mode. When I went to the control panel and checked device manager, the damned thing was right back with the "!" next to it. I never reinstalled. I will attempt to reboot...

    floppy drive problem

    I almost forgot to mention. I have only had the pc about 2 weeks, long story, but it is not under warranty. I have spent the last few days trying to figure it out. Checked the inside cables also. Swapped a few around and when that did not help, I put everything back the way it was.

    floppy drive problem

    My floppy drive has a problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. I have Win 2000 Pro. Device Mgr has "!" on the floppy. Sometimes I will get a code 31 or code 1 error depending on whether the error appears during or after the reinstallation. I have tried another...
