As the floppy works for Bads in safe mode I guess it works...:)

However, I've seen Bads 1 for a while in different forums, a kind of massive trouble period. (Floppy doesn't work, Anacronis can't restore/write floppy/write cd, only focused window work and more.)

Bads: Why not start over? Your XP seems very sick.

Thanks .unicorn,

But this installation is from 17 april 2002 :) Not too old but I will try SFC another time :)

April 17? Now I get worried! Maybe you should do a hardware checkout too...

I have seen a few probs within XP when installed on a few machines where for some reason in the bios it has set the floppy drive to a 5 1/4 for some stupid reason, might be worth checking as when trying it in safemode it worked prefect.

Its only a thought

Probably a stupid suggestion but I had a problem writing to floppy's (but not reading them) and it turned out to be that somehow I had disabled the "Removable Storage" service....This would explain why it works in DOS and in Safe Mode, but not in Windows....

Check it out....;)

I have try to disable the "Removable Storage" service, but this is not working for me Pcdad12078

I see something new tonight,

When I try to right on the floppy, a little file like a shortcut or a .txt is working.

But if I try a big file, my modem disconnect :eek: and the computer freeze :confused:

My modem is an Aopen "hardware modem" non PnP and after the modem hangup, the IRQ ressource must be set manually :confused: That's very strange because my Floppy drive and my modem are not using the same IRQ :mad:

What I meant was that mine somehow got disabled and setting it to "automatic" seemed to fix things for me...

Don't quite get the thing with the modem tho...:confused:
