Hi,

Did you check for virus or Trojans? Even if you have something
installed on your system, you may want to try a different one. Try
www.housecall.antivirus.com and do an on line scan.

I find when something working well, just stops and a new replacement
gives the same result it is a virus issue.

Thanks and have a Great Day!

========================
i have a AMD Athlon XP 2100+, 1.024 GB memory, 40 GB HD. i was using
floppy to backup data daily for small program. floppy quit working,
"windows unable to read disk", purchased new one and same problem.
started saving data to cd, it shows it burns to disk, but will not read
disk or install programs from any disk. purchased new Samsung CD-R/RW
252F, same error message as with floppy. also replaced cables and
checked connections. could this be motherboard problem? windows tips and
solutions no help. any suggestions?
