51/4" Floppy found
On my Windows ME PC Explorer shows the 31/2 inch A drive as a 51/4 inch.
I don't know when this started, I formatted a couple of weeks ago and it was okay then. Any ideas on how to fix it, I have tried uninstalling it in Hardware Manager but when it is reloaded it is still the wrong one found and installed. all help appreciated Daniel

Confirm that it is designated as a 31/2 inch drive in your BIOS. Reset it,
if necessary. Mart "Daniel" none@none wrote in message ... On my Windows ME PC Explorer shows the 31/2 inch A drive as a 51/4 inch.

Stupid me, why didn't I think of that.
You were right, it had changed in the CMOS settings, all is fixed now, thanks for your help. regards Daniel "Mart" wrote in message ...

You're welcome Daniel. It's easily done when you're worrying about other
things during a format/re-install. And thanks for the feedback - it's appreciated. Mart "Daniel" none@none wrote in message ... Stupid me, why didn't I think of that.
