Right click on the Floppy drive and choose uninstall (in Device
Manager). Now reboot and let Windows reinstall the hardware completely.

> After an upgrade to XP Pro from Win98, my floopy is not recognized. In device manager it has a yellow !. I can reinstall the driver and it works fine until the pc is rebooted then it goes back to yellow !. The BIOS sees it and I can boot to a floopy but once the OS loads it is gone. I have changed cable, floppy drive and have done an XP repair.
