Strange condition

What may be the cause for these drives to show "Full" in Properties, when they are not:
1. 3 1/2 Floppy (A (Regular floppy)
2. 3 1/2 Floppy (B (IomegaZip100)
3. Compact Disk (F?
Compact Disk (F also has the "Tools" tab missing.
Only "subject oriented" replies/applications, please.

Harry.

and/or ... get a man in g

Any improvement?

How could that happen, Mart?
I'll go fix it.
The "uninstall" alredy proved unsuccessful..
Didn't expect you to answer, but rather someone else, who might have an
idea. I am simply exploring "all" my options, before I make any "drastic"
decision(s) and why shouldn't I? My search has shown, there were others
along the way with exactly the same problem.
Has nothing whatsoever to do with "deja vu", more with a term like "asta la
vista" or whatever.
Everything else shows and is perfect on this machine and there has to be an
answer to my question, only it may be found in a different place.
One more "little" thing: where can I go or turn to, to have my registry
examined and, if neccessary, fixed?
Thanks.

Harry.

P.S.: Just discovered my News Sending Format is set for "Plain Text".
Now What?

Only YOU can answer that Harry!

Yeah - Thanks a bunch Harry!

The "uninstall" alredy proved unsuccessful..

But did you try it again and also uninstall ALL the Iomega (Ioware)
application(s) in Add/Remove Programs?

I thought Shane had also suggested that, in one of his earlier posts.

If you made a pig's ear of the uninstall, re-install it and immediately
uninstall it again - it might just clear any remnants in the registry.

BTW - I also thought you'd pulled the Zip drive - Why have you got it
listed again as the B: drive.

On the 'Format' menu in the 'New Post' window, have you got the 'dot' set to
Rich Text (HTML) or Plain Text? Should be Plain Text.

Mart

Much obliged, Mart, thank you.

You're welcome Harry - but what about your other problem?

Did you follow my previous advice?

While I was away, I was "working hard" on your advice, Mart.
After completing the maneuver, I had lost workability of the Zip drive also.
There are 2 jumper settings for the drive to be set as "slave", one with the
jumper in the middle and the other with none at all.. When the jumper was
applied, the drive registered as Floppy (B and without as Removable Disk
(F, which it is now. It is not supposed to be a Floppy drive, but rather
SCSI, I believe and it was that way until it changed along the way to my own
amazement, but it worked and I wasn't concerned.
Yet at the moment my zip drive is not readable either, asking me to format
with a disk inserted, just as does the Compact Disk drive.
When I was booting with the zip drive disconnected, my BIOS informed me of
"Hard Disk Failure" and continuing, I got this message:
"Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: Failure.
Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press Enter."
Right now these drives are listed in "My Computer":
3 1/2 Floppy (A
Local Disk (C
Local Disk (D
Local Disk (E
Removable Disk (F
Compact Disk (G
The strange part is, that everything is working properly in Device Manager.
I did find an Iomega.vxd file and three others in (C, the active partition
and sent it to the recycle bin. There are quite a few left on (D, the
extended DOS partition, should all of those be deleted also?
So far the contents of (D didn't have any effect on (C.
With everything else working beautifully, this is merely half a computer.
I am just about ready for the 40-mile trip, or to start from scratch with
WinXP. Couldn't really blame you, if you didn't answer, Mart.
