It sounds like your floppy drive is dying. As floppy drives get older they seam to have longer access times. Also try a different floppy disk. You might try a different disk first, and if that doesn't fix the problem start observing how a Windows boot disk loads. If All the disks take a long time to load like i said there is some chance the floppy drive is starting to go. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Murphy <mweeby@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 1:28 PM Subject: Re: Back from the "parted" beyond.
