Good day:

Interesting problem. The other day, I noticed that the
drive letter associated with my 3-1/2" floppy had
disappeared from my file manager. I can not access a: from
the command prompt or My Computer. I looked into the device
manager and both the FDD controller and FDD are recognized
and functioning. I booted to the safe mode command prompt
and nothing there either.

I can, however, boot off of the drive. That tells me the
drive is indeed good.

Any idea what happened?

I have the same problem on a Compaq Presario.
Coincidentally, while working in the bios setup of my
Gateway, I noticed an option to "disable floppy drive".
Can't say that's the problem, but it would be worth
looking into.
