I guess the easiest solution would be to just get a usb floppy drive and have your mom use that. What are they $25 now? Wes

Geeze, is there anything they won't put on USB anymore? :-) I did quick look because I never heard of such a thing and they do indeed exist. However the cheapest I saw was as $36. One word of caution though: Don't rule out that the test floppy was bad also. It's happened to me before and also with two CDROM drives. Especially since those "nasty searching sounds" imply that the controller is fine and is talking to the drive. -- Gary
