Re: 3.5" disk drive won't work

message from johnf on 2 Jun 2004
Before you go replacing drives, XP no longer supports "3-mode" floppies,
which causes this error message occasionally.
If you format the floppy on a non-XP machine, then try it again, it usually
works.

John,
Thanks, from me. I learned something. I was unaware of this fact. Have
a good one.
