IT SHOWS ON MY COMPUTER WHERE IT EXISTS AS A PLAYER A. I CAN FORGET ABOUT FLOPPY DRIVES IF I CAN'T GET AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO READ THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE FLOPPY DRIVE, DO NOT SHOW ON THE SCREEN OF DISK MANAGEMENT. ANY HELP WOULD BE APRECIATED. - THANKS.

Hello

Exactly what you do when you get the message "Please insert a disk in drive A;

Your cables might be backward. Some cables I've seen can be connected backwards, but normally there is a lack of female pin and/or a physical bar that stops you place the cable correctly. In case of doubt, all cables (that I saw) have an edge that is color which is the limit where pin 1 is. Your motherboard and the floppy drive (s) should also indicate what is pin 1 (sometimes with the number 1) or sometimes by an arrowhead. In addition, the end of the cable with the twist must be connected on the floppy drive.

As you have obviously been disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, you should check for twisted on the Board and the drive pins.

The device does not show in disk management, but should appear in the Device Manager.

Don't you hear the drive trying to search the diskette?

Are your formatted diskettes?

Have you tried a new pre-formatted floppy?

I do not recommend people to use diskettes these days. The reasons include

  • reliability
  • capacity
  • convenience

Also, although I did not buy the disks for centuries, I wouldn't be surprised to see that memory sticks are cheaper than a box of diskettes and hold much more data.

I would say get a memory stick and use it instead of floppy disks.

  • "Please insert a disc into drive I" error message problem. Help, please!

    I get the error message "Please insert a disc in the drive I" when I try to attach a drive external hard (in a case of hard disk) via a USB 2.0 to my Dell Dimension 8400 computer. I am running Windows XP Prorfessional.

    When I attach an external hard drive that comes with its own enclosure as a Western Digital MyBook via the same cable USB 2.0 the following happens. Windows Explorer shows the new disks I and J. If I try to open the drive I have, I get the "Please insert a disc into drive I"message.» However, when I try to open the drive J I'm able to do it and see the files, in this case, the Western Digital MyBook. I can also open these files.

    I searched the Internet for solutions to this problem. In some cases, the problem can be solved by renaming the drive letter, but this does not work in my case. Most of the sites I visited fail to provide a solution. Very many missions I've read on various sites, the problem seems to be related to error messages has Microsoft Windows. The solution would seem to have to disable this / these messages by changing the relevant parts of the registry. (See: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/logonuiexe-no-disk-there-is-no-disk-in-the-drive/7a158e14-6a56-4bfd-b1b5-796c3ccea3b0?page=2&tm=1341781513552, http://www.w7forums.com/please-insert-disc-into-drive-error-t11264p2.html, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281345)

    Unfortunately, the information that I found are too vague and contradictory to me. Microsoft seems to suggest changing the value of ErrorMode in CurrentControlSet so that the user gets more no error message 'hard' (modification of the: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\ErrorMode value = 2). However, this suggestion for the backup of SQL Server databases. It also seems a bit drastic to turn off hardware error messages. In another post the suggestion is to delete upper and lower filters in the section of the registry that controls the hard drive. The problem here is that you may have to reload the software. Also, I'm afraid I'll mess up the registry.

    I would be grateful to anyone who could tell me what parts of the need to register to edit and how to disable this message ' Please insert a disc in the drive I have. "

    I suspect that the boxes of hard drive that does not open professional XP are somehow corrupt.

  • Error USB "Please insert a disc into drive F".

    I tried to change the drive letter from device in disk management, but it still does not work... I really need to recover the files on this USB... Help, please

    Hello

    Sounds like you have a problematic usb device, have you tried to go to Device Manager and look for the status of the usb you connected? It has a yellow sign? try to use the usb key in a different system, if it fails, you will need to go and download a 3rd party software and format your USB drive and then try to use recovery software in this case your usb will work but the files have 50 / 50 percent chances of recovering.

    Thank you

  • There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive F:.

    I use Windows 10.  I have several times the Question "Please insert a disc into drive F:. After one of the updated Windows Update, the problem disappeared for a few days. It is now again. Please do not ask what is obvious. There is no such disk to be inserted. I saw this virus in 2012. It is directly linked to Adobe. Especially at the start, Ps and Acrobat reader.

    On a previous occasion when I had the problem, Windows (10) forced me to update. The problem disappeared.

    Earlier I asked Windows Update, 2 minutes later the computer booted. The problem disappeared. I checked Acrobat, most boring, no problem. I have only checked Ps no problem. How long it will stay like that, I don't know. I can't MY DOCUMENTS, PICTURES, MUSIC some time yet. So, I'm not able to do anything with or for them. It will tell just me "Unauthorized" or something in that line.

    I appreciate your help.

    In light of no one size fits all for the drive no problem, we try to find out what happens to work for you.

    I have a lot of variety to explore, but the most promising so far is that of PRE_help involving the OldFilm.AEX in this any disc.

    Have you read newly installed does not first element 13

    PRE_help wrote in this thread

    Could you try to remove the old Film of the first elements 13 installation location, and then try to launch the application? The right to be removed file is (assuming that you installed in the default location)

    Program Adobe Premiere elements 13\Plug-Ins\Common\NewBlue\OldFilm.AEX

    While we're not 100% certain that it is to blame, we have seen that this solves the problem in some cases internally. Let us know if that helps.
