    In my XP Pro desktop machine the floppy drive has suddenly begun referring to itself as 'T(A: )' (no quotes of course)

    (EDIT: Had to put a space between the : and the ) otherwise it turns into a smiley)

    I guess it's undergoing some sort of identity crisis <gr>.

    Anyone know what might have happened to bring this about?

    Its description in the BIOS is normal, ie. 1.4mb 3.5" and there's no 'B' floppy in place. Rebooting didn't help. It sustains reads and writes normally. And floppies don't seem to appear in Disk Management at all, so I can't change the drive letter there.

    Thanks for the wise words which will do doubt follow my post :)

    Thanks surferdude2. I guess I was looking for a reason for this odd occurrence. But yes, that would fix it.

    Cheers :)
