Sorry for not giving complete info:

1. Actually, i cannot see the *floppy drive* in the explorer

2. I have been getting the error message("Error: not found") everytime i click on a shortcut to the floppy drive (i had placed the shortcut prior to installing linux and it was working well then)

3. I would also like some info on the *BIOS* settings that might be bringing problem. i.e. what should be the order in the "First device", "Second device" etc (in the advanced BIOS settings.)
