I replaced my A:\ drive several months ago and now the computer is unable to access information from any floppy disk giving a message about disk not formatted or invalid system disk or cannot read from A:\. I am also getting messages about himem.sys being missing. Are these related? I certainly would have thought that the new drive would have lasted more than a few months. I also recently had to clean a virus (Magistr32) from this computer by installing McAfee VirusScan. Additionally, windows is using almost all of the memory (63.something of 64). Would these problems cause the A;\ drive not to work? Also the computer hangs up on shutdown. Any suggestions?
