right click & eject LS-120 floppy (W2K)

[2easypc]

Hello there,
while running win98 with a LS-120 as the floppy drive A:, This has eject on the right click menu. Microsoft must have left it out on Windows 2000, so maybe a registry tweak is in order. Please help.....................

Win98 in a standard install does not have an Eject in the menu for the A and B floppy drives but does add it for a Zip drive when installing the software for the drive.

WinXP Pro is the same.

The issue for the floppy is that the disk is mechanically locked into place and there is no electronic device in the drive for ejecting the disk. The LS-120 and Zip drives do have the electronic feature which then allows the computer to send the Eject command to them.

I'd guess that the LS-120 needs some software installed just as the Zip drive does to get all the features.

I did a standard install of Win98 and the LS-120 is the primary on IDE 1. There was no additional drivers installed and YES there is a Eject command when I right click the Floppy Drive A:?????????

You say "the LS-120 is the primary on IDE 1", maybe that is the problem, it shouldn't be the primary? I couldn't find the problem listed on the maker's site.
