Help! Cannot access 5 1/4" Floppy on Win98SE TIA
I have some old 5 1/4" diskettes that I needed to access.
I installed the floppy drive as drive B. I set the BIOS to reflect the install. Win98SE does not see the floppy. However, if I boot with the Win98SE startup diskette into DOS, I can see and use the floppy drive. What setting am I missing to access the floppy from Windows? TIA Joe

Windows probably just isn't looking for it.
Insure Control Panel/System - Performance Tab - File System button - Floppy Disk tab - checkbox is checked might do it. "Joe" wrote in message ...

Thanks, but unfortunately that was not the problem. The checkbox was
already checked. joe "pjp" wrote: Windows probably just isn't looking for it. Insure Control Panel/System - Performance Tab - File System button - Floppy Disk tab - checkbox is checked might do it.
