My co-worker has a Compaq presario 7180 with win95. She is always getting this message unless a diskette, (any diskette), is in the "A:" drive. Here's the message: "SYSTEM ERROR Windows cannot read from drive A:. If this is a network drive, make sure the network is working. If it is a local drive check the disk." The error doesn't pop up if we keep a floppy in the drive. The pc is not networked. This pc was handed down to her and the person who had it before her has no idea why it started doing that. Any ideas??? Thanks!

Check the path command in the autoexec.bat file. If it includes the a: drive, remove it.
