well I do have an other problem but this one has been going on for the past month or so. My os is XP, somtimes it just freezes up on boot. you know when xp is loading you get the xp logo and a blue bar slides from left to right. well sometime ti just stops responding at this point. I then reset it, and try to start in safemode. It takes a long time then it starts. I then restart and it normally boots up. this happens nearly every day.
The floppy failure is recent these last two days.
