In article <10279@jarthur.Claremont.EDU>, jseidman@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (James Seidman) says: >Has anyone experienced problems in reading floppy drives when in Windows? >I can read my 5 1/4' just fine, but trying to read from my 3 1/2' produces >a "System Error" from the File Manager, or a "Drive not ready" error from >a DOS session. Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so, what >caused them? I had a similar problem with my new 386. Turned out to be a bad BIOS chip. No problems since it was replaced. (BTW, this was the only way the flaw showed itself... all diagnostics ran fine.) --- Jim McIntosh (jim@auvm.auvm.edu) The American University Washington DC 20016-8019 USA
