SUMMARY

With Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS, if you use the NET SHARE command to share your printer and you then change to the floppy disk drive by typing A: or B:, the light for the floppy disk drive stays on until you type a drive letter other than the letter of the floppy disk drive you are currently using.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Although the light stays on, you do not lose any functionality by using your floppy disk drives. You can still change floppy disks and be able to access files on the new disk.
