To EP Brown & Mike Welch, I tried what you suggested and under Control Panel/ Disk Drives, I show "Generic IDE Disk Type<7" which is set up as C: so I assume is the HD "Generic NEC Floppy Disk" which is set up as A: the 1.44 floppy. So I don't show another drive at all. On the otherhand, under Hard Disk Controllers, I show a "Integrated Peripherals PCMCIA Hard Disk" which has the (!) on it and the Device Status shows it as "This device is not present, not working Properly, or does not have all the driver installed. See your hardware documentation. (Code 10)". I'll assume that is the problem. Unfortunately, I don't get this every time; sometimes there is no (!) marking the drive and the Device Manager shows it to be working properly, but I still can't access it.
