Hi,
The floppy drive in My Computer is now labeled '3.' There is no drive letter (it used to be 'A') just the '3.' I don't know how and when this happened but I only noticed it today. I don't have a floppy drive connected though, so I thought it wasn't a hardware problem. Anyone know what this could be and how it came by?

No such thing as wasted space here, the site thrives on people putting words on screens.

If you haven't got a Floppy Drive installed, go into bios and disable the floppy .... that way it wont show in My Computer or check for it at boot up.
