When trying access the floppy drive on nt4 sp5 this error appears: "a:\ is
not accessible incorrect parameter" if  I "retry" I then get an error
something like: "unrecognized file system"

swapped out floppy drive with another, same error. Also tried several
different disks known to work fine on other NT machines.

I know this error has happened to other people but no one seems to know the
fix.

Spent a couple of hours searching TechNet with no luck. Any help would be
appricieciated.
