![]() I did read on the web that 1.2 floppy drives seem to be better supported in XP than 360k ones. This works fine (and no, I haven't tried the 360k drive in that machine.I need the drive for my main disk imaging one). I have another P4 Windows XP machine attached to a 1.2 MB drive (in this machine only one floppy drive is allowed). In a practical sense, I don't need it as programs for those other OSs do the job, but it just bugs me having something not working. you may wonder why I would want this, given that MS-DOS and Win98 works well. I'm just wondering if (with the passage of time and passion of hobbyists) anyone has found or knows of a solution? Any ideas? This is a well-known problem and has been discussed on the web and even in these forums years ago. The drives are referenced correctly in CMOS, and with the other OSs, the drive works fine. I get an I/O error when trying to access it. The problem is the 360k 5.25 inch drive doesn't work under XP. I run MS-DOS, Windows 98SE and XP SP3 depending how I boot it. I have a Celeron II machine I use for disk imaging and file extraction. This has been discussed years ago on this forum with no apparent resolution so I thought it worth a revisit. ![]()
