One of the computers at the hospital where I volunteer has a 3 1/2 floppy as the A: drive and that's what is designated in setup. However, when I try to access the A: drive through My Computer in Win95, it says it's a 5.25 and will not read it. I have tried swapping out the drive and cable but that didn't help. Any ideas? After thinking about this some more I have one question. My question is what have you or others changed in the computer between the last time the 3 1/2 inch floppy worked and when Win 95 starting telling you it was a 5 1/4 inch floppy? Most of the time when mysterious problems like this appear in PCs it is because somebody has changed something. It is amazing with PCs how changing one thing in a PC can cause something else in a PC to fail even though ones first reaction is changing G couldn't possibly affect A.
