Thanks for the reply!!  I got that from the MS help file on CreateFile. 
     It now creates the handle using:

     HANDLE fileHandle = CreateFile("\\\\.\\a:",
                                    0,
                                    FILE_SHARE_READ,
                                    NULL,
                                    OPEN_ALWAYS,
                                    0,
                                    NULL);
I'm gaining on it!!  From what I gathered from your other replies, I 
need to read the entire disk & check for error codes to determine if the 
disk is good or not.  If that isn't correct, please let me know. 
Meanwhile, I will be attempting to read the floppy using ReadFile.
