I just upgraded to Win98, now my A drive doesn't want to run. Do you know what the problem might be? I check inside and it's all hooked up right. tks

Is the fdd light always on? if so then the cable connected at the fdd should be flipped over.
Check the bios settings is the fdd disabled?

I am having the same problem. Did you get any good help. I have a new computer and when I try to access the floppy it freezes up. The only things I have installed since getting the computer is my printer drivers from HP on the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
