Floppy drive shows as 5.25 drive?

Comment:

I have a computer that has recently had a new hard drive and windows ME installed. For some reason the 3.5 floppy is showing as a 5.25 drive. Can anyone explain how it can be rectified.

But we know it's not ;) Stroll into your BIOS settings and have a look to see if it's set properly. It may have automagically transmogrified settings. (that means make sure it reads 3.5 for the floppy disk, you may have an option in there for 5 1/4 and it got switched). See the iDiOt walk See the idiot TaLk WaLk IdIoT WaLk
