XP vs Floppy

[J&P Steele]

What is it about XP or my floppy drive that takes so long for XP to
initially prepare the A drive after the disk is inserted.

Overall, I have found XP (recently upgraded) to be more stable and faster
than Win98, but there are a few elementary niggles which I would have
thought Microsoft would have sorted by now.

Disappointing.

Regards,
Joe Steele
