"Help !

"I've just taken delivery of a new pc with wfwg 3.11 pre-loaded.

"Invalid disk change reading drive A

One idea that *might* help:

edit the file AUTOEXEC.BAT and find the line containing the string
"SMARTDRV".  Immediately after this string, insert " A" or " A-".

" A" is to be preferred if it fixes the problem.  The other will also
have the unfortunate effect of making your floppy very slow.
