floppy drive and FC5

["john s." <john johnsdesign net>]

 Odd question; this box has 5 installed, I can't access the floppy 
drive- it doesn't show up when I click on the Computer icon on the 
desktop. I thought the drive might not be connected correctly, since I 
can't remember if the floppy was accessable when I set the box up.  My 
laptop, I orig had 5 loaded (same story with the floppy drive), then 
upgraded to 6; w/6, I can access the floppy drive.
 I set up a second box w/5 over the weekend; the floppy disappeared 
after running patches and installing programs. Has anyone else seen/have 
this happen? Is there a way to correct things?
