Hi Carey:
You are right on target!
I finally found an article at a website that recommended turning off
(Disabling) your AV at shutdown and sure enough Norton AV was causing the
problem. Luckily it only happens after I have used the "A" floppy drive and
not all the time. Just will have to remember to disable NAV etc after I have
used the "A" drive.
Thanks for your timely and accurate reply.
