A drive
Vic,
It sounds like the a drive has been disconnected, or was deleted from your directory. To trouble shoot go to My Computer, right click, scroll down to properties, left click, click on the hardware tab, click hardware wizard, scroll down to floppy disk drive, left click, then left click on next this should help you see if it it working properly. If not, windows should allow you to use the troubleshoot feature to reinstall. If you don't see the floppy disk drive listed, close the box go down to device manager, left click the device manager, right click on floppy disk drive, left click on scan for hardware changes, if that doesn't work; click on properties and use the troubleshoot feature. If none of those options work, in the device manager you should see floppy disk controller, follow the same steps as stated above for floppy disk drive. What you are trying to do is "map" or locate this hardware so windows can identify it, and see if there is a problem with the hardware. If you see a small exclamation icon partially covering the floppy disk/disk controller icon, this means there is a conflict with your operating system and the hardware, continue wioth the steps above and you should be able to resolve the issue. But really, who uses the floppy 3.5 any more? Good luck! |
