216362 2004-02-18 04:54:00 I haven't used it for a while but my A drive seems to have disappeared. When I open My computer or Explorer all the drives are there except for the A floppy drive.

I've followed the instructions in troubleshooter but that doesn't work.

I've looked at it with Nortons Windoctor and that reads it fine.

It is as if someone has said to hide it or for Explorer not to list it.

Any suggestions?

Regards

216364 2004-02-18 07:16:00 Ho. This may sound silly, but have you run the slider in Explorer's folder window right up to the top? Scouse (83)

216366 2004-02-18 17:25:00 check your bios to make sure you haev a 1.44Mb 3&1/2" floppy listed there drcspy (146)
216367 2004-02-18 21:36:00 Problem solved. A couple of months ago I loaded Tweak UI which somehow turned off the A: drive. In Tweak UI you can look at the drives listed and in this case the A: drive wasn't ticked.

Thanks for the help, even the one about moving the slider to the top. Sorry but I'm not that dopey!!
