More questions about Floppies

[myckael]

I have a nice 'chewy' problem .... I have a floppy drive (Panasonic) that can boot from switch on, but, although windows 2000 pro tells me that it has loaded the drivers, it cannot be reched so that I can place needed drivers for another computer. I have checked the connector, taken the drive out and re-plugged it back, checked security in Win 2k administrator tools, unloaded the drivers and reloaded them again, removed the drive from Device Manager and reloaded. My question is, why does this stupid floppy work with a boot-disk but not in windows?

Have you tried a different floppy drive? If the "tracks" are off, you can "see" a floppy formatted on that drive, but no others.

Its not the floppy disk but the drive that I cannot see in W2k Pro. Before you ask, yes, I have changed floppy drives too..
