I posted earlier today, don't see my OP, so this is a repeat.

My floppy drive has never given any problems, fairly new.

This morning I moved files from floppies to my hard drive, no problem with
about 25 floppies in sucession.

Accidently the power was shut off. I booted up, apparently W2K does not do
scandisk, it started normally.

The problem started shortly after that, so maybe it's related.

I would move a file, the A drive would run, keep on running, the file would
not move, finally had to shut down as I could not end task.

I then booted up, cleaned cache, shut down normally, rebooted, and same
problem with floppy. I have 512 MB RAM, 380 MB free. It's hard to believe
I'm loading the processor with the floppy operation.

Advice?
