Problem solved on my end. While I had the same problems as Mike and kept
makig changes to the Interrupt & I/O and Original Configurations settings
for the floppy I kept noticing that the Interrupt request would say there
was a conflict and it was being used by the generic IRDA device, which I
don't use. I checked the "Use automatic settings" box under the Resources
tab which allowed the floppy to change to a different interrupt request with
no conflicts but it still wouldn't be able to read the floppy.
I finally disabled the IRDA device in the Control Panel under its Original
Configuration box (removed the check mark) and rebooted, the IRDA is now
listed as disabled and the floppy - drum roll! - now works fine. Problem is,
what do I do if I ever need the IRDA? And how the hell did this all change
by itself, after my system crashed one day? Anyone else ever run into the
same problem with the IRDA device settings?
BTW, thanks to those who emailed me and tried to help, it's appreciated! -
Louis
