I have checked and the drive under Win98 is set to A:. As I said, Win98 seems to recognize that there is a drive there and tries to access it when desired but is not able to read or write to it. Any access results in Windows timing out and saying the media is bad. Any other thoughts?

Double check your setup... sometimes the floppy drive gets named B or
another letter when you do this many partitions... At least it is a
place to start. You can usually change it around in the setup. If
not, you may have to do a "redirect" to show where the floppy drive
is.

I then ghosted the old A20m drive partitions to it. (Old A20m only had W98se on it, no W2K.) Then I installed W2k. Then I installed PowerQuest Boot Magic. Everything works great except for the floppy drive under W98se. The floppy drive works great under W2K but if I boot to W98se, it recognizes the floppy drive is there and shows it is ok in Device Manager, but I am unable to access a known good floppy disk. Any help?
