Drive A: failure while in Excel

I transfer many files from my home computer to my workplace. I run windows
98, because i like the way it handles. My Office version is 2002 professiona.
lMy workplace runs XP, but Office verson is only 97-95While I was working
on an Excel schedule speadsheet a few days ago; I attempted to save it to my
floppy drive A:.Everything came to a screaching halt! I have done the detect
& repair. I have checked my 'ini' files. The drive seems to be physically
working. When I try to use it, however; I get this error message: 'Drive A:
is not ready.' This happens both under straight DOS, or Control Panel. I
really hate to have to re-install all my Office.
Can anyone help?

Hi - this is a Windows Update newsgroup. Try one for Windows 98.
