Floppy Drive is missing

[Jackie]

Just formatted windows xp only to discover that now my floppy driver is missing from the my computer system menu. It does how ever show as working properly. But I can not get both acess or see it elsewhere on my system. What could be wrong? Any suigges
tions I have tried everything.

Hi Jackie,

Try the following:

1. Click "Start", and then click "Run".

2. In the "Run" box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks), and
then click "OK".

3. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E980-E325
11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

4. In the right pane, click "Upperfilters", and then press DELETE. When
you are prompted to do so, click "Yes" to confirm the deletion.

5. In the right pane, click "Lowerfilters", and then press DELETE. When
you are prompted to do so, click "Yes" to confirm the deletion.

6. Restart your computer.
