Are there any floppies in the drive? After the computer has been on awhile will a cold-boot produce the problem? Which version of the Award BIOS is the computer running? What operating system? There may be other options re: the floppy drive, but I'd need to know the BIOS version. During a warm boot, a BIOS still checks peripherals, including A:. And it may verify the drive and any boot sectors. Cheers, Mike Whalen -- PCBUILD's List Owners: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
