SYMPTOMS
========

The following floppy disk problems may occur when you are running Windows 95:

- You cannot access your floppy disk drive.

- When you choose a floppy disk drive, it attempts to read the wrong drive.

- Your floppy disk drive does not appear or appears incorrectly.

CAUSE
=====

If the CMOS settings of your computer do not indicate that a floppy disk drive
is installed, Windows 95 may not be able to display your floppy disk information
correctly. MS-DOS, or the real-mode portion of Windows 95, may allow you to
access the floppy disk drive.


RESOLUTION
==========

Refer to your computer documentation, or consult with your hardware vendor
regarding how to access and update your CMOS settings.
