I'm having a problem my A:\ or my floppy drive. I am trying to access
delindex via a floppy disk and when inserted into the drive on reboot, the
computer disregards whatever is in the floppy drive and continues to boot
into windows. Once in windows I would right click on floppy drive icon and
then click onto explore, and an error message stating "A:\ is not accessible.
The system cannot read from the specified device". I would then try to run
scandisk on the A:\ drive with more errors stating "Scandisk detected an
error while reading your drive. Scandisk detected an error while writing to
your drive". The computer would then freeze.
I've tried using different floppies and also tried to update the floppy
disk controller from device manager to no avail.
Can anyone offer some advice on troubleshooting this problem?
The floppy is my only means to get into DOS on windows Me. Thanks.
