Hey all, I am having trouble getting my floppy drive to work, I need to make
a diskette to check and repair my hard drive after booting but every time I
try to access the a: drive the My Computer window switches to "not
responding"...I have tried 3 different floppy drives and I get the same
problem with all of them. My motherboard is brand new, all of the floppy
drive I have tried are windows compatible, and the disks I inserted work fine
on various other computers.

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

Go into your BIOS and see if your floppy drive has been activated. Unless it
is, your operating system will assume that you don't have a floppy drive.
For most computers, holding down the DEL key during the early stages of a
bootup will take you to the BIOS screen pages.
