Formating a floopy

Why would my machine, (the duel 366) lock when I try to format a floppy???????
XPee Pro is the OS on there, I even through in a new drive and she still locks, very irritating...............

Although on a happier note I had a Duron 750 here for the weekend, reinstalling for a friend, got it done Friday night and made it crunch for me till this afternoon.....

My Duron 800s aren’t much faster than my Celerons

Your computer only freezes when formatting a floppy, or reading it too? Try stuffing a 1.44meg file in there and then read it. Also, this only happens in WindowsXP? Weird stuffs… Could also be the floppy drive controller that’s going.

Just when formating, other wise it can read write just fine.........
I might try a reinstall this weekend and see if that helps.....
Or wait and see if I get my GeForce back.....
