"Parameter is incorrect" on floppy drive
Just purchased a new Dell PC. Haven't connected to
internet yet as taking it to uni with me on Sat so have done no updates for Windows XP although I have installed Service Pack 2. When accessing the floppy drive through my computer I am receiving a "parameter is incorrect" message. I am unable to open my floppies. Obviously the floppy drive hardware is new and has been tested as being functional. I can boot the computer from a floppy. The BIOS has been looked at and the settings are correct. I think this may just be a case of waiting to do a Windows update when I'm connected to the internet but if anybody knows any different please help. |
