1) The diskette drive now does not work properly.  Whatever diskette I
put in it says it is either unformatted or incorrectly formatted, and
offers to format it for me.  I graciously decline. <g>  It doesn't
'feel' right when I insert a diskette, so it might be a hardware
problem.  But I did boot from diskette to do the debug script mentioned
above.  Formatting the hard drive to NTFS doesn't have any affect in the
diskette drive, right?

amplifying.

2) My HP 722C printer won't print.  It installs fine, but nothing ever
comes out.  If I send multiple documents to it, then monitor it, Windows
thinks the documents are being printed.  The status is continually
updated document by document at about the speed the printer would
actually print, but the printer never budges.  I've installed it twice
with the same results.  The HP website states the driver is provided
with XP and has no updates.  My next step is to try a different printer
cable though it seems odd that a cable would die at the same time as an
OS upgrade.  It seems more like a driver problem to me.  Anyone seen
anything like this?

>>>> Have you gone through the Windows Update website? M$ may have updated
drivers for your printer out there.
