floppy 0 probe failed

Hi Greg. I'll look into that, but it has happened with multiple disks that
I have tried. In fact what I did was try and a superformat on the disk and
not even that worked. So the kernel is probably not accessing the drive
properly, or its using a different device. Any other ideas on why this
could be happening? It works just fine with 2.2, or it did before I
upgraded.

Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sick of Winblows!
