I have already looked at my setup. It shows a 1.44M
floppy drive as A:. It doesn't show LS-120 or Superdisk
because it doesn't have that as an option. It was never
a problem until a few days ago when I was trying to get
into safe mode to install a program that was giving me
trouble in normal mode. The problem started when I tried
to boot in safe mode with CD-ROM access. I found a tip
on the web on how to do this. I activated the Startup
menu and went into Command Prompt, then I was supposed to
enter win /d:m but I incorrectly put in win /e:m
instead. After a while I found out that this had
activated a windows troubleshooting switch and I turned
it off. The CD-ROM came back without a problem but the
floppy has been appearing in duplicate ever since. Also,
this started when I was running Windows 98SE but I have
since upgraded to XP. I thought it would be easier to
clear up the problem under XP and some other glitches I
had did clear up when I upgraded, but this floppy disk
situation persists.
