The explorer (in Win Me) tells me, there`s only a 5-1/4 floppy drive on my labtop. The 3.5 drive just disappeared! The BIOS shows the right drive, but although it is listed first it doesn`t boot from it, when there`s a disk in it while starting the computer. Only once during the last week the 3.5 drive suddenly came back and was working just fine. But after restarting the computer, it was the 5-1/4 again. Is someone out there, who ever faced the same problem (and was able to fix it)???
