I just recently installed WinXP on my cousin's Gateway
400MHz box. It's been working great with the exception
of the floppy drive. When you open My Computer or
Windows Explorer, it doesn't even appear. When you look
in Device Manager, it shows up as installed twice (Std
floppy disk controller). Within each, there's a message
that its not working properly because there aren't enough
resources. I can right-click and uninstall one of them,
then the floppy starts working great...swing! But once I
reboot...same problem comes back to haunt me! Any
suggestions you can provide would appreciated! Later.

Have you tried uninstalling BOTH of them before rebooting?
