• Time for the floppy drive go!

  I want to remove my drive from my office disk to make room for my gear to go in Assembly before USB. I went to the hardware Manager and uninstalled the floppy drive, cut and removed it but when I put turned upward once again, notice the "found" material and reinstalled quickly when he is not physically here! I spent out of sequence here or missed something else? Have you seen as 'Standard floppy disk controller' still listed as well in the hardware Manager, also had to be uninstalled?

  Thank you

  BIOS see the disk in the floppy drive and perform a reload of the OS?
  I need to download on my other one cmptr, burn it being dwnld (cause that is a Mac Intel DuoCore).

• Laptop Presario CQ62: SETTING THE BIOS TO BOOT FROM a USB STICK

  I need to set the BIOS to boot from a usb key. The options in the BIOS are
  BOOT CD-ROM
  Startup disk
  Internal network card

  And in the boot order:
  USB disk on key/USB hard drive
  USB CD/DVD ROM drive

  Portable hard drive

  USB floppy drive
  Internal CD/DVD drive

  ! Network adapter (but it says that the ability to start will be disabled if the device is marked with an exclamation point, which, in my case, it is)

  A question who should I set to boot from a usb flash drive which has the operating system that you want to install Windows?

  I tried boot F9 options, but it gives me two options:
  Portable hard drive
  CD/DVD drive.
  No drive Flash Drive or USB in the list options.

  Then he said: press F10 for BIOS Setup Options. That's why I'm trying to see what to implement as boot device in the BIOS boot options.

• Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

  Hello

  I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

  I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

  The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
  This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

  Any help would be great,

  Thank you

  Hello

  Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
  As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
  So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

  Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

  Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
  It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
  I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

• Why I have this message? Error: the floppy drive seek failure

  Original title: why I have this message?

  floppy drive seek failure. I don't have a floppy drive on my cumputer.

  Hello

  This problem occurs if the following two conditions are met:

  The computer has no floppy drive.
  1. the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS settings.
  2. for example, this problem may occur if the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS settings by default.

  To resolve this issue, use the system setup program to disable the floppy drive in the computer BIOS. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help make these changes.

  Warning of the BIOS:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved.
  Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Intermittently, he goes down with a black screen provides the following information: Boot from CD

  I have a Dell Inspiron 530 running with Windows Vista.  Intermittently, he falls down with a black screen provides the following information:

  Boot from CD

  Client MAC addr: 00 ID 09 88 CE 06

  GUID FFFFFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFFFFFFFFFF DHCP *.

  PXE - E53: no boot file received

  PXE - M0F leaving Intel Boot Agent

  No available boot device - retype press to try

  To the point where I have indicated the asterisk above, it has a slash which rotates in a circular motion.

  My thought is that it's either the Windows code is corrupted or is a hardware failure.  While I am not positive, I feel that it occurs when Internet Explorer is used.   System Restore is not enabled on this computer, so this isn't an option.  Can someone help me understand this means and how I could fix this?  I know that will later Windows version can solve it, but this isn't the answer I'm looking for.  Thank you

  Attempt to initialize the network is not a 'possible', it is certain that your PC is doing exactly this depending on your BIOS settings. In addition, she tries the network initialization after already trying to start on an optical disc. The two attempts at device boot doesn't have, in all likelihood after having already failed the boot from the hard drive. There is no message to indicate than an attempt to boot to the hard drive, or he leaves the screen too fast to see you or you did not save it in your original post.

  My advice on the diagnosis is based on the studied the real model of your PC, not generic advice for all Dell PC with Vista installed.

  1. Your computer has already finished POST (Power O n Self TEST) otherwise you wouldn't see any attempt to start at all.
  2. You've already provided specific error messages.
  3. I have already advised the best and most approriate diagnostics for your PC.
  4. Your PC will not start in any mode if it becomes a default 'hard', rather than the intermittent fault means your original message. Start in any mode, you can and make a backup as soon as possible.
  5. Unless these recent changes include adjustments to the BIOS settings, they are irrelevant, that he is a boot failure which can be caused by anything done under Vista.
  6. Removing the external devices is never a bad step of troubleshooting if you encounter problems. I doubt it will help in this instance, but it will not hurt to try, especially if they are peripheral bootable.
  7. Startup Repair will not solve a hardware problem (by far the most likley scenario).
  8. System Restore is not usable unless you can actually start to Vista and it's never going to treat problems of material.
  9. IMO, this is not a software issue. See also point 4.
  10. If you have a hard drive failure, it is not recommended to try to reinstall the operating system. First of all prove that the hard drive is OK as advised before trying to re-setup. In addition, if you can, back up your data before reinstalling the operating system. In all likelihood, that's what you have to do but for a hard drive replacement.

  I repeat that a failing or failed hard drive is the most likely scenario. Other more distant possibilities include

  • A failed or failing disk controller (almost certainly on the motherboard)
  • Boot from the hard drive is disabled in the BIOS (highly unlikely if this anomaly is intermittent)
  • Some sort of weird for the failure of the BIOS
  • Option 3 mentioned in the previous post (unlikely unless your PC has been internally inspected/modified or subject to vibration displacement/hitting more/remove etc..)

• File Explorer doesn't recognize the floppy drive.

  File Explorer Windows 8 does not recognize my floppy drive! The drive can be accessed via the command prompt, so on the very rare occasions when should he use it is not a serious problem, but I would like to be able to make the easy way - funny how the old DOS commands always come naturally for me, however!

  Problem solved! The floppy drive does show not under 'computer' in the left column, but I found by clicking on "computer", it is listed in the main window. Looks like I was just framed by one of the minor differences between versions of Windows 8 and earlier!

  I think that the confusion is due to the difference in behavior of reader to other removable drives - connect a USB drive or insert a disc in the DVD/CD player & the drive letter immediately appears in the left column. Insert a disk in the floppy drive and the drive does not read it - it is necessary to click on the drive in the main & open the from there.

• VMware Workstation 10 bug: DVD SATA drive does not start if we disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS

  Hello

  I use VMware Workstation 10, and I found a bug:

  With the all-new virtual machine (for example with Windows 8 x 64), if I choose a hard SATA and SATA DVD drive in VMware and I have to disable the floppy drive in the VMware BIOS, Windows 8 (or Windows 7) ISO does not start.

  If I come back in the BIOS to enable the floppy drive once again, my ISO boot.

  If I use the DVD IDE drive in VMware options, no problem if I disable the floppy drive.

  With "EFI mode", no bugs.

  Please, can you solve this problem? Thank you

  Hi freebeing,

• XPS 8700 - installed new SSD but still the HARD drive boots

  I just installed a Samsung 840 Pro in one of my 8700's. I used the software of Samsung cloning and cloning has been a success, as far as I know.

  Then, I changed the cables between the factory-installed HDD and SSD so that the SSD is now connected to the lower SATA port.

  After I stopped and turned on, this thing is always the start of the original HDD and I cannot understand exactly how to change what must be changed, so it starts on the SSD.

  The original HARD drive still appears as the 'C' drive while the SSD has a drive letter of the 'P '. AHCI is selected in the installer and I couldn't see all the other parameters that would load the PC to boot from SSD.

  I just need to change the drive letters? What I'm missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks again, but this has been SOLVED!

  It seems that the only and only a step that I had to do was unplug the original HARD disk.

  After that I disconnected the drive HARD original, the computer booted from the SSD without problem.

  I hope this will help someone facing the same problem in the future.

• Will there be another windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Will there be another Windows coming out soon with the floppy drives and DVD players.

  Hello

  Disks: I don't think so. I always keep 25 floppy disks for Windows 95, should be a few thousand disks for Windows 10. Very, very, very expensive to store files and transport.

  Of DVD: would soon come out, new machines will have 10 Windows (who knows) pre-installed or downloaded. You can always find Windows 10 DVD in some countries where users will still have to use dial-up Modem.

  Hope it makes sense.

  Hello

  The message looks like you tried to boot and install Windows LAN

  If you want to change the boot order, I recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop was turned on!

  A new start menu should appear, then you can choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD) and a boot device.

  Also by pressing the C button should allow you to boot from the CD inserted, bootable.

• Stopper 0x000000F7 blue screen error occurs when you try to access the floppy drive.

  The error occurs on computers 3differnt.  Sometimes using "My Computer" to access the floppy drive.  Malware, spyware and viruses, the computer has been verified.  Clean everything. No new disk drivers listed.

  Tell us what you have done that you are convinced that it's clean... Here is a description of the error code in the Windows debugging tools help file:
  "Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER.
  Bug Check 0xF7: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER

  Bug DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER control has a value of 0x000000F7. This indicates that a driver has saturated a stack-based buffer.
   
  Parameters

  The following settings are displayed on the blue screen.
  Description of the parameter
  1 the battery's actual security check cookie
  2 the expected security check cookie
  3 the bit complement of the expected security check cookie
  4 0
   
  Cause

  A driver invaded a buffer based on the stack (or a local variable) in a way that would have replaced the function's return address and jumped to an arbitrary address when the function returned. »

  This is the classic "buffer overflow" attacks of piracy in my opinion. The system has been reduced to prevent a malicious user to take complete control of it.

  This is very probably a malware problem or a problem with a driver.  I suggest several anti-malware scans to make sure you are clean and then begin to check your drivers to see if there are some more updated versions available.

• Cannot get the floppy drive to work.

  Well, maybe noone here will want to address this issue, but I really need an answer that I use the files mentioned below in my profession. Any help would be appreciated. And if I posted this in the wrong place, sorry, this is the first time I used these forums and didn't really know where to post. 

  OK, I know this floppy are are outdated, but I have a bunch of files that I created years ago when the diskette was everything you had.

  I had a disk in my computer that I was using and one day I tried to open some files in the floppy drive and it says that the disk has not been formatted and I wanted to format the IDE drive.

  I got a new floppy disk and it says the same thing. I tried to format it and received a message that said Windows cannot format the drive.

  So, I thought that maybe the old IDE floppy drive had gone belly up. I ordered a new floppy USB of TigerDirect drive and installed. It does the same thing.

  Can someone help me get this floppy drive so that I can access work files.

  I have a HP Compaq dc7600 form small computer running XP Pro SP 3. The floppy drive I ordered is an external USB floppy drive PowerUp G54-8016.

  I have a Zip USB drive and it works.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I don't know why the IDE floppy drive was working and then quit, and now the new floppy drive will not work.

  Hi kemperhills,

  ·          Is it possible to check if the floppies are still good?

  ·          The diskette was made read-only?

  According to this Microsoft article this could happen because the disks are bad:

  Was there a kind of switch on it? If so have them try to change the switch and try again.
