Under Windows Vista I can't access my floppy drive.
- It is shown in Computer as drive a:
- It is shown as working correctly in Device Manager
- Dual-boot PC - if I boot to Windows XP Pro instead, I can access it
- However, if I double-click on it in Computer Windows Explorer, Explorer
hangs.
This is what's in the event log:
Fault bucket 6036912, type 5
Event Name: AppHangB1
Response: None
Cab Id: 287544579
Problem signature:
Application Name: explorer.exe
Application Version: 6.0.5384.4

- Computer works fine accessing other drives.
- I can't access the drive by opening the command prompt and trying to get
to a: either! The cursor just blinks and nothing happens.
- I plugged in a USB floppy drive with which I can read/wriite/format floppy
disks perfectly.
All this would make you think that the drive isn't working... apart from
when booting to Win XP, it works perfectly. If anyone can shed some light on
this, I'd appreciate it - thanks!
