With my laptop, the system keeps going out to drive A: every now and then for no discernable reason. &nbsp;If the drive is not attached, which it quite often is not, the system hangs. (Well, I've discovered that it's actually operating very slowly, if I keep hands off without pressing a lot of keys it will release after a few minutes, ususally accessing the hard drive right afterward). Starting up without drive A: in<br />
the system, CMOS reports no Drive A:, but Win 95 shows as existing,attempting to access the drive will freeze system.<br />

I have a newer Dell Lattitude 166 Pentium MMX with 40 Meg RAM. &nbsp;They believe it's a software problem. Have uninstalled Norton Anti-virus but problem contiuned so have reinstalled the program. &nbsp;Problem did not exist when machine arrived in July. &nbsp;Have been attempting to add network card but found out there was a chip level incompatibilty problem (perhaps related) Problem occurs in muliple programs so it must be the operating system.
