Running WINDOWS XP SP3
Just downloaded and installed BOINC 6.10.18.
Restarted the PC
Floppy A: drive does not work
Look in MY COMPUTER and A: does not exist
Look in DEVICE MANAGER and FLOPPY DISK DRIVE does not exist but FLOPPY DISK CONTROLLER does exist.
Uninstalled BOINC using ADD/REMOVE SOFTWARE in CONTROL PANEL.
Restart PC
Problem still exists.
