Hi-
I am running windows 98, and i recently purchased a floppy drive. Everytime I try to install, it installs itself as a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive, while it is clearly 3 1/2. I have uninstalling, reinstalling, and nothing works. Please help!

( before i bought the floppy drive, there wasnt one there, i have no cd-rom drive either)

Have you tried booting into BIOS and making sure the FDD (floppy) setting was set to show the floppy drive as a 3.5 rather than a 5.25??

yes, sorry, i did that myself before you responded, but im glad you did. I am now having a differant problem. I am trying to set up a network, and i created the network disk on my xp system, and when i open that disk on the win 98 system, it doesnt know what to open it with, and an error message comes up saying, "file Corrupt, try to reinstall" i tried that a few times, but i get the same result every time. One time an error came up saying i was missing the "kernel32.DLL" file, so i downloaded on my other system and then installed it. But the "corrupt file" message still comes up.

Please post this problem in the Networking forum and let one of the guru's there take a look!!
