I have a problem with my disk drive. It is visible in the explorer as A:, but I can't read "or save" on the disk. I get the message "Can't read from A:", "try again" or "cancel". I have tried to change the disk drive, but it is the same problem and the disk can be read on a other computer. Is it a driver problem? I use win98. Any suggestions?

You can see if there's an upgrade available for it. You should also unplug the floppy drive and use it on another computer to make sure that the floppy drive itself is not dead.
Hope that helps.
Kevin.

Can you boot from the floppy drive? That will determine if it's a hardware or software problem.
