Hi Andrue,
   Looks like I'm going to need some assistance doing this.  I'm using 
the following code to create a handle to the floppy drive:

HANDLE fileHandle = CreateFile("\\.\A:",
                                GENERIC_READ,
                                FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
                                NULL,
                                OPEN_EXISTING,
                                FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM,
                                NULL);
if(fileHandle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
   ...
}

But it isn't creating a handle. Could you please tell me what I'm doing 
wrong?
Don
