I am having the following problem with my system.  When I try to access my A
Drive my system locks up.  The green light to my A Drive comes on, but I
cannot read or write to the drive.  If I remove the disk from the drive, I
get the following error message "A:\ is not accessible, the device is not
ready."  Retry or Cancel.  If I push the disk back in and select retry the
system locks up again.  If I select cancel, I can continue to use other
programs and hardware but not my A Drive.  My motherboard is an ABIT BX6
revision 2, Intel 440BX chipset, 82443BX - 82371FB PCI Bus Master IDE
Controller, Standard Floppy Drive Controller. My operating system is Windows
98 second edition.  I am using the latest BIOS update from ABIT.  My video
card is an AGP Creative Labs 3D Savage4 with 32MB.  I show no IRQ conflicts
and all hardware shows that it is installed and working properly.  Please
note that if I reboot my system my A Drive might work the next time, but most
likely not.  If I boot up in DOS or boot using a bootable disk my A drive
works every time.  When I was using Windows 95, I did not have any problems
with my A Drive.  I have tried two other disk drives that work in other
computers, but will not work in this computer running Windows 98.
Thank you for you assistance in advance, William E. Hanson
