Can not get my portable floppy drive to work on my computer

Original title: I have a portable floppy drive that works on all computers but mine! It indicates that the device is installed and ready to use, but when I put in a disc, nothing happens. What can I do?

It was in the shop and they said it worked fine in my computer to the shop. But at home, nothing. I tried on my old Mac and it works, too, but not on my PC.

Hi Barrydraw1,

·         What operating system is installed on your computer?

·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

·         The floppy drive is not detected by the computer?

·         Have you tried to insert a different floppy disk and check?

If the drift of floppy is not getting recognized by the computer, and then run the Fixit and check.

Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

If your computer does not support floppy drive so it will not work.

I hope this helps.

  • can not get the new hard drive to work in the Pavilion ze4805us laptop

    have an HP pavilion ze4805us laptop which had a total hard drive failure... recovery disks were lost in a fire... replaced the hard drive with a Western Digital 250 GB drive... computer recognizes the drive, but with only 137 GB... impossible to obtain the Windows Millennium disk to install... I have it get the PXE - E61 error code... have looked for answers and tried a few suggestions to fix the error code, but no luck so far... would like to throw this laptop and runs again, it was so nice all in operation. Can someone help me with this? Thanks to all in advance... rrcar6

    At the level of the BIOS, HARD drive should show the full capacity regardless of the distribution, but it will be limited based on what the current logical block installed the BIOS supports.  For example, the 250 GB HDD Needs LBA 48 bit to be recognized by the BIOS in its entirety.  Western Digital only provides downloads of software and support going back to Windows XP.  Windows Millennium Edition is not able to recognize the full capacity of the drive.  Finding drivers compatible with Windows ME is perhaps another challenge that XP uses a different architecture than Windows ME done.

    It seems that this laptop is the same time that the books mentioned in this thread.  Response from JackShack gives the best explanation as to why he shows quite different in the BIOS.  It has been many years, but I do not remember that the capacity of the HARD disk had exceeded what the BIOS at the time supported resulting in the 137 GB limit displayed in the BIOS.  This section of Western Digital shows that this problem is related to the operating system or BIOS supporting however, this should not prevent Windows to install correctly.

    I'm sure it's already done, as it was not a new BIOS since 2004, but guarantee the newest BIOS is installed.  Logical block address 48 bits, necessary for the larger disks (larger for the time) was released in 2003.  The 2004 related BIOS earlier than probably took supported LBA.  What is the current version of BIOS?

    Hello Ghostdogaln.

    How do hang you the controller?  You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.

    If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

  • Laptop HP 15-g075nr: can not get the Qualcomm WIFI driver to install

    I went to the HP site, had the site determine my type of laptop, then downloaded the Qualcomm Atheros QCA9000 driver and installed.  After installation, Device Manager still listed under OTHER and when I say update the network device driver, it says that it cannot find a driver for the device.

    How can I get a device driver that I can use to get WiFi running?

    P.S. I have installed hundreds of device drivers, so I know not how, it is just the fact that one on your web site does not work with my laptop.

    P.S.S. The wifi computers worked with windows 8, but I reinstalled windows 7, 64 bit.

    That's why the Atheros driver does not work, and the parts list said even your model with the Atheros card, that's why I there no question.  In addition, also, I assume that you checked the model of wireless card that your laptop when running on W8.1.

  • Can not get the XML save data to work

    I'm trying to store data in an XML file.

    I want to create and store this XML file, I copied this example directly from the documentation (http://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/documentation/device_platform/data_access/working_with_xml... but it does not work):

                qDebug() << "I came in this if statement";
                XmlDataAccess xda;

            else
                qDebug() << "I didn't come in this if statement";
    

    After having tried everything, I can't see the .xml file to display in the file Explorer. The print statement that prints the location... /data/ and the second print statement shows he's going in the case.

    I can not even an XML base to save, so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

    Thank you

    Hey there,

    Well, the thing is that she is using an object QTemporaryFile (file2) and according to the description of the class QTemporaryFile:

    ".... QTemporaryFile is used to create unique temporary files safely. The file itself is created by calling ( Open). The temporary file name is guaranteed to be unique (that is, you are guaranteed to not overwrite an existing file), and the file will be deleted eventually to the destruction of the object QTemporaryFile... »

    If the object of File2 is destroyed in your application, that would be your problem...  You check in the file while the application is running?  Otherwise, you must use QFile instead so that the file will still be there at the end of your app... etc. etc.

  • Can not get the States of relaxation for work in the widget of blank publication of Muse

    Hello

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot get States to trigger (thumbnail) to work in the blank publication. That's what I do:

    I click on one of the triggers (thumbnails), open the States Panel, select the Normal State and fill the tile bearing the image of the . Then I select the rollover State and reduce the opacity to 50% or make any other changes to this State. I see [in the States Panel, in design mode] now in the States Panel which show both normal and Active image with an opacity of 100% and turnover and the mouse down show with an opacity of 50%. BUT when I preview the page in the browser, move the pointer of the mouse on the trigger does not change state of the thumbnail. It does not raise the change of the target, but the thumbnail itself doesn't change States. The idea is that when I mouse over the thumbnail, an image appears in the target box. But I also want the thumbnail to change status while in the rollover State. I have attached a screenshot of the Options Panel in case it helps.

    Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

    Depending on your options settings of Composition, changing the active State to the same settings as your rollover State. When you hover over the trigger will change and show the target.

  • Satellite A300D-11 t - can not get external Wlan Realtek 8187b at work

    Hello.

    I have the laptop A300D-11 t and I have a problem.

    The place I work is in a cellar. I have not any wi - fi there and I decided to buy a USB wireless, and a 5 m usb extension.
    I tried this on my colleague (not toshiba) laptop and it works. He has not worked for me.

    I realized later that the chipset of the usb stick wireless realtek 8187B, identical to my laptop.
    I think there must be a conflict between the two devices and their drivers.

    Even with build-in WiFi disabled, I can't yet do the wireless to work. Ideas, any help would be appreciated...

  • Can not get the graphic import settings to work

    Hello

    I try to import a graphic by reference to a set DPI (222). The following code example graphic design is important, but don't know the DPI setting. You can see what the problem is? A few notes:

    -J' wrote an equivalent FDK and everything worked well, the same exact way.

    -The GetImportDefaultParams() fills a table of about 45 members and GetPropIndex() retrieves the unique index, which suggests that the parties are working

    -After experimentation, I conclude that parms [index]. PropIdent is still not defined, that seems odd.

    Thank you.

    var doc is app. ActiveDoc;

    var tl = new TextLoc();

    TL.obj = doc. FirstSelectedGraphicInDoc;

    If (!) TL.obj.ObjectValid) tl.obj is doc. MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;

    TL.offset = 0;

    var parms = GetImportDefaultParams();

    index = GetPropIndex (parms, Constants.FS_GraphicDpi);

    parms [index]. TypedVal = 222;

    index = GetPropIndex (parms, Constants.FS_FitGraphicInSelectedRect);

    parms [index]. TypedVal = false;

    var returnParms = new PropVals();

    doc. Import (tl, "C:\\temp\\delete\\222_dpi.jpg", parms, returnParms);

    Hi Russ,

    What exactly is your problem, I don't think that its really the value NULL of PropIdent?

    So I guess that your problem is, dpi is not defined.

    If I change one of them * DefaultParams(), I use this function:

    function SetPropVal (prop, propval, params)

    {

    var i = GetPropIndex (params, prop);

    If (i<>

    Returns false;

    If (typeof (propval) is 'number')

    params [i].propVal.ival = propval;

    If (typeof (propval) is 'chain')

    params [i].propVal.sval = propval;

    Returns true;

    }

    First parameter is the value of constant, the second the value to set, and the third the * DefaultParams.

    Hope this helps

  • Get the old hard drive to work on the new processor

    I am a PC Tech company with problems on PC at home.

    My Win 7 Home Premium Dell Studio T435/9000 dead.  It was a motherboard problem, I chose not to replace the CPU/Mo with a duplicate.  The hard disk MBR is good, I could read it and when I installed in an Optiplex 990 at work, it is initialized.

    I had the chance to receive a new Dell T5610 with 2 CPUs of a parent.  It came with professional Win7 preinstalled on an SSD, UEFI boot on a GPT disk.  But all my apps are absent and even a rat-pack obsessives like me do not have all the CD and install the files for the various applications on the old hard drive.

    I want to use my old hard drive on the new PC, then after that it's stable, migrate the old hard drive to the SS disc supplied with the PC.

    First problem was to learn the differences between MBR and GPT.  After this was learning that Home Premium does not work on a PC with two separate processors.  I use Win7 professional for that.  With the help of this forum, I was able to do this by using the Optiplex 990.  I run Win7 Professional on the Optiplex 990.

    I take the former home of hard disk go BIOS to legacy.  Old hard drive that boots on 990, does not start on T5610.

    I try various advanced options, safe mode, low-resolution video, nothing works.  I get a BSOD is a hard drive error, STOP 040000007 B.

    I try Startup Repair tool and get the following:

    Problem event name

    Offline Startup Repair

    1 6.1.7600.16385

    2 6.1.7600.16385

    6 1

    7. bad driver

    6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 OS version

    Locale 1033

    How can I get my old hard drive to work with the new processor.  Is it a question of Dell, a Win7 Office.  As the hard drive starts up successfully on another CPU, I believe that the hard drive is good.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Thanks to you all.  But the solution was completely different.

    Dell said the motherboard on the accuracy was so different from my old PC that unless I reinstalled Win7 Professional from scratch on the old hard drive, motherboard would not work with the old hard drive.

    They have guaranteed that the old hard drive would work on a 8700 XPS.  After some problems, I managed to do the work.  Problem solved.
