My "A" Drive or Floppy Disk Drive doesn't read or even
recognize the disk more than half the time. Since the
computer was still under warranty with HP, I was sent a
replacement part. I got it installed and it worked just
fine for awhile but the same problems are happening
again. It tells me to insert the disk when I've already
inserted it or tells me it's unable to read from the
disk. A few of the files became damaged when I attempted
to open them and so I copied all my floppies back onto my
hard drive just in case. I'm totally baffled by this. I
use Windows XP Home Edition SP1. Can anyone shed any
light on this? I would appreciate it.
