Phantom floppy drive

[Alex Wegman]

I plugged my USB floppy drive into my IBM notebook and it
was assigned as drive B, while the computer had developed
a drive A of its own. I have no inbuilt floppy drive, yet
the computer is convinced that it is there and is working
properly.
At the very least I'd like to be able to assign the USB
floppy drive as drive A.

The USB floppy used to work fine and was treated as drive
A but this phantom floppy drive has just appeared. I
don't use a floppy drive often and have reinstalled
Windows since using it last.

curious...

Alex, if you reinstalled Windows then you have to reinstall the USB driver
for the Floppy drive.
