Arrrggg... Does anyone have a fix for clicking on the A: drive access icon with no FDD inserted... and having to wait 4-5 minutes until Windows decides it can't find any FDD?

Have you installed the right drivers? When I accidentally click on A drive with no FDD inserted (or no FDD plugged in for that matter), mine comes back within about 10 seconds to tell me I've goofed ...

I don't know about this 100, but I've always installed the FDD drivers on my 50 and 70, and have always faced the problem. Like when Windows boots, finds new hardware, starts a process to find drivers, and prompts for places to look. I've learned to make sure the radio button for the A: drive is not checked, or I'm in for a 4-5 minute wait.

Alternatively, use TweakUI to hide the A drive (then access it when necessary by going start>run then type "a:\" or going into a command line prompt and typing "start a:").

Interesting workarounds... Imay just do this.

Matt
