Hey, I just spent hours typing an essay for school to find out my floppy drive is acting silly. I can't think of another way to get it to school, other than burn it to a CD. I would prefer NOT to waste an entire CD on 12kb of text lol! If you have any suggestions, please feel free to toss em at me.

It could be the "floppy" disk. If sector 0 gets damaged the "floppy" will stop working.. Never keep "floppies" near cordless phones, microwaves, TVs, or your monitor. They don't last too long when they obtain interference.
