When I run Word Perfect 5.1 (full screen mode) from Windows, everything works fine EXCEPT that I cannot read drive a: or b: from Word Perfect, i.e. I cannot load a document into WP from a floppy. There is no problem accessing drive c:. The message WP gives when it attemps to list or load in files from a: or b: is "Drive not ready 1. Retry 2. Cancel". When it attempts to read the disk, the disk light flickers several times. The same thing happens when I run WP51 from the Windows DOS shell. This problem does not occur when I run WP51 from DOS. I have a Northgate 320 Slimline (386, 20MHz). Drive a: is a 5 1/4" floppy and b: is a 3 1/2". If anyone has heard of or experienced a similar problem and/or knows of a solution, please let me know.
