I'm running Windows XP SP2. My floppy drive does not work. It shows up
in Device Manager as a standard disk controler. It does not show up in
My Computer. It does work if I reboot to a command prompt. Someone
suggested I need real-mode drivers. If that's true, where can I get
them and how should I install? Thanks.

What shows up in Device Manager? You should almost certainly have a
"Standard floppy disk controller" showing under "Floppy disk
controllers" and a "Floppy disk drive" showing under "Floppy disk
drives". A drivers should show for each of these, the system should
report no problems with either and should say that they are working
normally and are enabled. You should _not_ find the floppy mentioned
under Disk Management if you were expecting to find it there. Floppies
are kind of the bastard child of Windows and it doesn't bother to list
them under Removable Storage either.

Ciao a tutti i nuovi arrivati. Benvenuti!!

Allora, visto che siamo un po' tantini che ne dite di una bella gita a
Manerba? Lì c'è un amico che gentilmente farci da guida turistica. Si
chiama Maurizio, l'unico inconveniente è che costa un po' troppo, ma
vedrete, le soddisfazioni non mancheranno.

DIREI CHE L'ORA DI FAR VISITA A QUESTA NOSTRA BELLA COPPIETTA MAURIZIO
E NICOLE E' GIUNTA. CHE DITE?

Io proporrei un giorno in cui possiamo trovarci e ordini alla mano
(per evitare infiltrati) ci conosceremo per decidere su come
procedere con questi due LADRI!

Date un parere... meglio in settimana o meglio un sabato come primo
incontro??
