| 163185 | 2003-07-27 05:18:00 | Hi, I have recently installed a POI travel flash card reader - it works well - I have windows XP. However ever since then either by coincidence or because of the card reader (which I unplug from the USB port when not using). The A drive will not write or read and disc (3.25). In fact it says when I insert a floppy disk that the disc is unformatted and do I want to format it now. Is this a conflict of some sort or do I give in and buy a new A drive? Many thanks David |
