I'd like to go off on a tangent to this problem.

Whenever I copy files from Hard disk to diskette using WIN95, it does it
very fast, lovely!? The question is, why when I take the disk( which was
perfect, no bad sectors) to another computer do I get read errors
copying the files off to hard disk again? This prooblem is really
maddening, especially when it happens at the other end of town!

Your problem: May be a DMA conflict.

Try Control panel / SYSTEM / performance / File system / Troubleshooting
- DISABLE ALL 32 BIT PROTECT MODE DRIVERS.

ALternatively : as above but instead of performance, goto 
DEVICE Manager / Floppy disk controllers / Standard floppy disk
controller / Resources - and see if any conflict appears here!. Now what
to do about if if there is, is another Hammy Hamster on the riverbank
story!
