I don't know why, but my system (Windows 98) is stating that I have a (B) drive that never existed before today. Also, since the appearance of this B drive, My real floppy drive(A) no longer can be saved to; everytime I try to save something to it, it says the filename is not valid. (The drive isn't being read. Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
Did you go into the BIOS and change anything?
 
Thanks for the response. Well, what has seem to have happened is my system was infected with the wscript.Kakworm virus. I have gotten rid of it, but the damage seems to have been done. Apparently there is a a "hole" in Outlook Express where the virus can manifest and spread. Have you heard of this virus? Anyway, would you happen to know how this can be fixed, knowing what has most likely caused it? I appreciate your responses.
