I have a Gateway 500 2yr old came pre loaded with Win XP. Used floppy to make start-up and it worked OK.Now-2yrs later I cannot access any floppy either to read or write.I go to My Computer @ click on the A drive and a box pops up saying to insert a floppy disk. When I do,nothing happens-the box just stays,and is hard to get rid of. One time after some fiddling around,this message appeared: A:\is not accessable.The floppy controller reported an error that is not recognized by the floppy disk driver.Once out of dozens of times it read a disk-but never again.Can anyone please help?
