• 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.

• When starting my computer will not have right to windows is said by pressing F1 or F2, he also says to look for floppy drive 0 failure

  When starting my computer will not have right to windows is said by pressing F1 or F2, he also says to look for floppy drive 0 failure

  It is a message from the BIOS. You can press F2 and go into BIOS and select "set as default" then save and exit. The PC actually has a floppy drive?

• A floppy drive is in my computer when no floppy drive is present in the system

  Hello

  My system is as follows:

  PC x 64 ACPI
  Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2
  M3N78 Pro motherboard ASUS
  2 x AMD Athlon 64 x 2 processor Dual Core 6400 +.
  4 GB OF RAM
  2 x 500 GB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drives (ST3500820AS)
  NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT graphics card

  A recent power outage at left me with several problems when restarting my pc. It was notably BIOS reorganize my boot sequence so that my drive C and drive D swapped places, ASUS Express Gate allowing itself when it had previously been disabled and apparently adding a floppy to my system drive (visible in my computer and Device Manager) when none are physically present. Some alterations in the Bios allowed me to change my boot back to its original and correct order sequence and disable ASUS Express Gate, and therefore no longer issues. However, I had absolutely no chance to get rid of the ghost floppy. My only solution is to disable the floppy drive controller in Device Manager (I don't know if it was present before installing SP2 or the power cut or not) in order to remove the entry from the workstation. However, this means that it is always visible as an inactive device in Device Manager. If I try to uninstall both the floppy drive and the controller of the device, Vista Manager merely note them appropriate drivers and kindly re - install them for me, placing the drive in my computer ghost floppy drive and Device Manager. Short of reformatting or the upgrade to Windows 7 to see if I can fix this bug annoying, I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. Any help much appreciated.

  See you soon

  If you have even disabled the floppy controller in the BIOS?
  In addition, to replace your CMOS battery (typically a CR2032 coin cell and available everywhere.)  That's why your BIOS to reset the values by default when the power is out - his battery died.
  That won't help with this particular problem right now "However, it will prevent it from happening again.

• Floppy drive and CD players do not Up on my computer in Windows Explorer

  He is a teacher of Windows 7 machine.  Under computer, in Windows Explorer, show my two hard drives; but my floppy drive and CD discs do not show.  Currently, none of the disks has a disc inserted.

  However, if I click on computer, they all appear in the right pane on the devices with removable storage section.  If I double-click on any of the readers, it tells me to insert a disc, so I guess they are recognized.

  Under Tools, Folder Options, view, the option hide readers empty in the computer folder is disabled, so presumably, this isn't the problem.  Curiously, if I put a CD in one of the two drives and a floppy drive in the floppy drive, the CD come listed under the computer however, the floppy drive is still missing!

  How can I get the missing CD and floppy drive will appear under computer all the time, the inserted media or not?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

  I know this is a very late response, but I had the same problem recently until I went into 'Organize' > "Folder and Search Options" and under the general tab in the "Navigation Pane" section, I checked the option titled 'Show all files' (this option for some reason any seemed to be solely responsible to hide my floppy drive and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM readers in only the Navigation pane just as you knew) for my own peace of mind I have also checked the option "Automatically extend to the current folder" so that the navigation pane would show the folder in which I was currently reviewing (as it did in Windows XP).

  I hope this helps someone else who has this problem and falls on this thread.

• How would complement a full computer backup in windows xp pro without a floppy drive?

  I'm trying to do a full backup of my external hard drive with windows xp pro, but my dell did not come with a floppy drive installed.  It won't let me choose another drive to make the start of the startup disk or reboot disk.

  Most likely your external drive is formatted using FAT32. The maximum value
  size of the file for this file system is 4 GB less than a byte. Reformat your
  external hard drive to NTFS (or use the Convert command):

• floppy drive please insert a disc into drive error message A

  I TRIED 2 NEW FLOPPY DRIVES, AND EACH OF THEM GIVES AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS: S ' PLEASE INSERT A DISC IN THE DRIVE A.I DID A LOT OF CONTROLS AND I TRIED A LOT OF THINGS TO DO FLOPPY WORK.IT SAYS IN DEVICE MANAGER THAT THIS DEVICE IS WORKING PROPERLY. CABLES ARE NOT GOOD, OR IS IT A PROBLEM WITH XP? ARE MY BACKWORD CABLES, OR THE TWO DISCS ARE DEFECTIVE? IT WILL NOT READ OR WRITE. WHAT CAN I DO ELSE? 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.

• Windows thinks that my DVD drive is a floppy drive

  I've had my computer for almost 3 years now without problems and now my computer decided that my dvd drive is a floppy drive. I have no floppy drive in this computer.

  I am running windows vista ultimate, 32 bit. My dvd player is an Asus - model unknown, bought 3 years ago

  Device Manager can't find the drive, but does not have a floppy drive

  ->, I uninstalled the floppy drive he sees and has attempted to use the scan for hardware, but it cannot find the diskette again. Tried to restore the computer by using the system restore, which did not work. The player turns on and turn when I put a disc in but nothing and does not pop up in my computer (which only shows my hard drive and a non-existent floppy disk)

  After trying to use demon for a drive emulator tools so that I could actually stop using the physical disk that I don't want to wear them first noticed the problem. Daemon tools has been uninstalled from the restore points, I used so I don't think that is the question.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Bob

  I did what you suggested and none of it worked. Thank you for your help and I have a solution that worked well.

  I turned off the computer, unplug the drive (power and sata of course), computer turned off, shut down, reconnected and when I restarted it again, my drive was normal.

• When the message is journal on "O floppy drive failure, press F1 or F2 Setup.

  You need to access the Setup (F2), turn off or disable the floppy drive in the boot sequence controller. The following will help.

• Display driver stopped responding and has recovered

  Product: HP Pavilion dv7-6015tx Entertainment Notebook PC

  OS: Windows 7 32-bit

  Status: Clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  Hello

  I had several cases where the computer seems 'lag '.

  then, after a few flickers on my screen, Windows would give the error:

  "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered."

  There are still effects after this message.

  When dragging windows, scrolling top-down graphics etc. continue to Flash.

  This isn't all in hardcore, the GPU was not operating at high temperatures.

  Interestingly, I don't have this problem when I'm in the middle of hardcore games.

  The CPU was not under heavy load, the CPU was not working at high temperatures either.

  I checked the temperature with thermal control (HWiNFO32).

  I have a lot of resources, 1223MB of RAM to spare.

  I also have lots of HARD disk space too.

  I installed the latest version of the graphics driver for my product: AMD graphics driver high definition,.

  but the problem persists.

  Help, please!

  -John

  I understand your frustration, I had the same problem, I really did, for centuries!

  Try this:

  Do not go on the AMD website for a video driver. those who do not work properly for some reason any...

  Download on the HP site specific to your HP product, for example, I have a dv7 6015tx with 32-bit windows.

  Then I'd go to: dv7-6015tx drivers

  If you still have the drivers on AMD ATI Web site, uninstall them, restart.

  Go to the HP site where you can find specific drivers for your product HP, installation, restart.

  It seems trivial, but it's IMPORTANT and most of the time to restart after uninstalling and installing.

  It worked for me, hopefully it will erase your questions, good luck.

• Portege 3480CT: how to make a USB bootable floppy drive?

  I need help to make a USB bootable floppy drive.
  My laptop 3480CT has not the traditional floppy drive instead, it uses a USB floppy drive and the bios has an option to boot from USB FDD.

  I would like to use a USB key to start (a Lexar Jumpdrive 32 MB 05dch 0080 h and GTX 1 GB 1516 h pid pid 8628 h), instead of the floppy. I want to load the boot XP on floppies, so I run recovery programs using chkdsk.

  I tried the usual suspects, the bootloader makebootfat and mkbt20 HP.
  I tried the demo version of the commercial product Flashboot.
  I photographed a floppy back 5.0 system on the USB key using the I-Setup demo.
  All failed including the specific option in the makebootfat images for FDD option and 3 different options of Flashboot.

  I ran
  http://Enos.itcollege.EE/~mkalme/Pahn/tut/tut.html

  Using Hexplorer ICY, I was able to confirm that the DOS5.0 on the boot sector pendrive is identical to the diskette.
  I could start in Dos5.0 from a floppy disk with drivers USB Panasonic and confirm that my Lexar was a system of 1.44 MB disk and command.com displayed in the directory. The GXT is not recognized by the Panasonic, nor BACK USB drivers to Duse 4.4 4.9. Another worrying indicator, it is my computer XP did not see all of the files on the pendrives, not command.com, or two hidden files (view all the hidden files option).

  I learned that Transcend a specific option that creates a bootable 1.44 mb floppy
  image on their USB key.

  Here is what I have gathered, corrections and suggestions are welcome.

  Interface USB the USB protocol specifications

  bInterfaceSubClass field specifies the Protocol
  01 order reduced block (RBC) a flash device
  UFI 04 a floppy drive floppy drive
  05 FDD SFF-8070i SFF-8070i command blocks however, funding may be in a different subclass for example RBC

  bInterfaceProtocol field specifies the transport protocol
  00 control/Bulk/Interrupt (CBI) with break of completion for FFD only
  01 CBI without interruption of completion for the FDD only
  transport in bulk only 50 h, including priming

  I don't know if the USB controller must imitate the FDD Protocol.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You cannot boot from the USB key.
  The BIOS of the laptop does not support something like that.
  Laptop factory supports and use different BIOS versions. As far as I know on this laptop Toshiba BIOS was installed.

  To my knowledge this BIOS does not support booting from the USB key, but only the HDD, ODD, LAN or USB - FDD.
  If you want to boot from USB FDD, you can create a bootable FDD floppy.
  Windows operating system creates the boot floppy drive when you right click on the connected floppy drive and select format. Then simply choose the option create MS-DOS startup disk start.

• External USB floppy drive no longer works

  I have a model #: p6710f computer from HP running Windows 7 desktop.

  I myself bought an external Bytecc USB Portable diskette (Floppy) disk. Although it did not work initially, it began to work a week later after some updates on my computer running. The work of at least a year since then diskette drive.

  Now the last month, the floppy drive does not show in the list where you can find the C drive or the D drive. You can hear the floppy drive respond when it is first plugged in, but it does not show on the screen which you access.

  Is there anyone who is able to understand why the floppy USB drive won't work with my computer? What should I do to solve the problem?

  Thank you for your response. Uninstalling the driver, restart the computer, and then reinstall the process... I had already tried this a few days ago. Although the computer recognizes drive as new hardware and load the driver, I was not yet able to access the disk. But here's the strange thing...

  My office is where I got this problem. Yesterday, I connect the floppy drive for my laptop for the first time. The laptop recognized as new hardware and load the driver. I was able to use the floppy drive on the laptop. Out of curiosity, I disconnect the floppy (USB connection) of the laptop drive and reconnect to the desktop computer. The Office has recognized as new hardware and load the driver. I am now able to use the floppy drive on the desktop. Weird that it is... my question to get the floppy drive on the Office to work is now resolved.
