Yes, I had a similar problem. I downloaded sp2, and later got rid of it, but my cd drive will now not work. I cannot copy my pictures to a cd disc. I have not figured out why, yet, either. srs <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Hello All, I downloaded EZ Armor from Computer Associates (Antivirus and Firewall) Firewall looks like Zone Alarm. I went to use floppy and error message says disk not formatted and then couldn't be formatted. tried to use flash drive with same result. this same situation happened app 6-8 months ago with symantec. I uninstalled norton firewall and drives started working again. I have xp home with sp1 and have not loaded sp2 for fear of something like this happening. there is obviously a conflict somewhere with software and windows. has anyone else experienced this problem?
