A couple of weeks ago my floppy drive dissappeared.....it is no longer
possible to find it using "my computer" etc....I am not aware of any changes
being made to the computer and something similar happened (b4 Xmas) with the
cd drives (I fixed this with the help of a registry patch (obtained thru a
link in newsgroups)) but I cant find anything that applies to floppies. I run
XP home with Norton Antivirus and SP2 and am starting to think about an
electric abacus. Any helpful suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
