Is my internal        PB> floppy drive defective?              Yes, you need to clean the disk drive Sadly, you needed to do that       **before** you put the good boot disks in. There's a possibility that the       disks have been damaged by grit in the drive.              I don't know what drives are used for your floppy drives, but some of the       early ones had belt driven drives. Over time, those belts turn into goo.       The drive lights up and makes a sound, but won't work.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
