running WindowsXP home, SP2, and using "A" as floppy drive.
I have had A-drive issues for awhile now, and would like to resolve this.
I can read files from floppy, and save them to C drive. But in trying to
save data from C: to floppy, I get various error messages, depending on the
file I'm trying to save, but including "Access denied: you do not have the
rights to do this" or "File does not exist: A:\filename.xxx". Maybe the
strangest is when saving a .jpg or .txt file to floppy, the 'write-protected
disk' letter changes to the first letter of the filename, i.e. filename
PARTY tries to save to P drive, filename TEST to T drive, etc. Also, if
trying to format a disk, get error "The disk is write-protected" whether it
is protected or not.
Device Manager indicates that both floppy disk controller and drive are
working properly. Ran PC Doctor, and the 4 scans all passed the tests.
Also uninstalled and reinstalled using the original driver disk.
There must be something very simple that I'm missing.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
