a drive

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

i'm working IN xp and i'm trying to access my a drive. i'm using a VIKING
1.44MB, 2HD IBM FORMATTED DISK. ITS TELLING ME THAT I DO NOT HAVE THE
PERMISSIONS TO ACCESS THE DISK. I PUT THE SAME DISK IN ANOTHER MACHINE, AND
IT ALLOWS ME TO FORMAT, COPY, CUT AND PASTE, ETC. I'M IN THE ADMINISTRATORS
GROUPS ON ALL MACHINES.

could there be a conflict with this particular manufacturer and that
hardware manufacturer. all other disks work using that machine. can someone
help

everything is all good in the bios setting. i can actually use a different
brand/manufacturer of floppy disk and it works just fine. it's just that i
cant do anything with the VIKING disks. could the MOBO BIOS still be an
issue?
