1.In Windows ME it shows me having 3 floppy drives, when i actaully only have 1 which is an LS120 drive, under Win 2K all it sees is the LS120. I also have a ZIP 250 if that makes a differance. How do i fix this. Also while in my computer when i try to click on one of the drives to get info it runs very slow and may even freeze, other then that the computer runs fine.

2.When I turn on my computer it does not check for a floppy in the LS 120, it used to, but i'm nto sure what i did. If i put a system disk in it, it still boots to the hard drive. If it is a non system disk, you usually get that error telling you to take it out and hit any key, i don't get that either, whats wrong.

3.Finally, I have 2 Maxtor 30 gig in a raid array, I also have a Western digital in my computer. I recently tried to use partition magic 6.0 to repartition the WD into one partition, but when I open PM6.0 it only recognizes 2 disks. One disk is the Raid array, the other disk it says is bad for some reason. The problem is that niether of those two disks is my WD from what i can tell. How can I fix these problems.

To solve your problem..format the harddrive and use windows 2000.

Thanks

Try booting into safe mode - WINME and look in the device manager under floppy disk controllers and see what they are and how many? Delete all of the floppies drives and reboot... At startup reload the new drivers for the LS120 and the zip for the web not from the disks...

I have been trying to figure out if Konboy is ever serious. I am starting to doubt it.

Update, I just checked in Win ME, I just realized hat the drive A: it has is actually listed as a 5.25&quot; floppy, then drive J: is a 3.5&quot; floppy, while M: is listed as a 3.5&quot; floppy, but is apparently my LS120 drive.
