Windows not reformatted the diskette.

Hi, ive been having this problem for a long time now, I can't get windows xp to FORMAT floppies! I can read and write but do not format, Ive tried to do in the box cmd, in safe mode, I tried to change my config.sys of little help I found on microsoft support. I'm confused and I really need to get these drivers on this disk, so I can install sata on my other computer :( I have a dell dimension 8400 Windows XP Home Edition. Also when I try to format it in the cmd box it tell me "Invalid Media or track 0 bad".

Yes, everything is properly connected and it does not be able to run at him...

Hello Jmitchell6799,

Thank you for your message.  Have you tried to perform a format of the Explorer window?  Try the following steps:
Click 'Start' > click 'my computer '.
Click the drive you want to format and select "Format".
Did you format your drive?
We can't wait to hear back on your part.
See you soon

    Is to reinstall windows and reformatting the same windows? How can I reformat windows? TQ.

    There are essentially two different methods to "install Windows":

    1. a clean install (which is basically all wipes) imply the shape of the disk (or partition).

    2. a repair install (which is supposed to leave all your programs and data intact) does not imply the formatting.

    Here are some useful guides:

  • How can I check my sites marked in the main window, not on the sidebar

    I have all my addresses marked with a bookmark in the bookmarks menu, but they open in the sidebar not on the home page. I can change that.

    Hello

    Try: Button Firefox-> Bookmarks-> show all bookmarks

    (if you have the menu bar (i.e. File, Edit etc) at the top left to try: bookmarks-> show all bookmarks)

    This will not open them in a tab, but in a new window.

  • 8.1 Windows not in the store after discount

    I recently bought a HP Envy 800-060 with Windows 8, which I upgraded to 8.1. Yesterday, something happened which caused the computer not to be unable to start successfully, and I had to perform a system refresh. Apart from the inconvenience of having to reload the software, settings, etc., the restored system Windows 8, but the Windows 8.1 upgrade is not found in the store. The HP Wizard is no help on this, and when I went to the Microsoft website to try and download the upgrade from there, it just hit me back to the store. I guess somehow the Bank thinks that I've already updated, so it doesn't let me do it again. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Probably you are missing some required components upgrade patches.  However, there are other conditions that could cause the same problem.  See the link below.

  • Windows not recognizing the Trend Micro firewall.

    My Windows Firewall status is "not monitored". My Trend Micro firewall is enabled. Recently I changed the State of my Windows Firewall from "Off" to "Not monitored" so I would not get a Windows security alert noting that my firewall is disabled. My question: Trend Micro says that Windows recognizes the Trend Micro firewall that is on and then start to monitor, rather than its own firewall. Why Windows not recognize is not the firewall of Trend Micro and so not monitoring in the Windows Security Center? (Yes, I'm 100% sure that my Trend Micro firewall is running, I even went through the process of uninstalling, then put it back in order to ensure with the trend on the live chat)

  • Windows not mark the ad hoc network.

    I've used this feature on my computer before about 6 months ago.  About 2 months ago, I had to reinstall the windows operating system 7 due to some problems I had with the software and my driver cd.  After using the disc of windows 7 dell, I had all sorts of problems.  Drivers have not been installed and ive called dell several times to get help with drivers are reinstalled.  I don't know if this information will help you to help me, but I thought I'd give some information.  Tonight, I tried to set up an ad hoc network so I can use my computer as a wifi hotspot and connect to my ipod touch.  When I went to create, I reach the screen when you type the name of the network, select protection and password etc.  I do all this and then click Next.  The box following dialog that appears says 'windows could not configure jon' (jon is the name I use for the network).  I don't know what is the problem, but I contacted the hardware support dell, they said that it was a software problem and I had to buy a software warranty for something like $250 and then I could talk to the experts in software and they'll fix it.  I told them I could not do that and asked how it was a software problem and the person just said that it was too advanced for the material support team and the software team would reconfigure the entire network... whatever that means.  So, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Jon

    You can watch the Connectify help or Virtual Router to transform your Win 7 machine into a Wi - Fi hotspot against trying to set up ad hoc. Both are free and make use of the built-in hostednetwork. I use Virtual Router to connect my iPod Touch at times.

  • Footer moving with the bottom of the browser window, not with the content of the page.

    I'll build a new website that incorporates a standard footer.

    The footer works as expected in the sense that moves down when more content is placed in the page. However, when I transfer the Web site in a browser the footer is to stay with the bottom of the browser window and not only with the content of the page. By example, if I Zoom out as far as my browser will allow the footer always appears at the bottom of the browser window leaving a large gap between the content of pages and the page footer.

    Any suggestions for a fix?

    Hello

    Try to uncheck the "sticky footer". It should solve the problem.

  • Download now only show in a window, not on the bottom? How to get back too low-toolbar downloads, please? Thank you.

    In the previous version of Firefox, the download appeared along the bottom of my screen, similar to a toolbar, or tabs. Now I only seem to be able to have the window to the full downloads. Can someone tell me how to get that back in a bar background, please? Thank you.

    Hello screencraft. This has never been a built-in feature in firefox - maybe you were using an extension like download statusbar that has uninstalled or disabled for some reason any...

  • How can I reinstall windows xp when the computer does not start and there is no cdrom/dvd drive?

    I have an Acer netbook aspire one.  It will not boot past the windows logo.  I have a windows xp disc to reinstall windows, but the computer has no CD or dvd rom.  Can I copy cd of windows xp on startup SD memory card and reinstall windows?  Or can I run connect the non working pc a working PC to access the cdrom on the work pc to reinstall windows?

    First of all, you are mistaken when you say that the PC does not start.

    This is clearly starting. The problem comes from Windows, not with the real PC. It's actually a very important distinction!

    There are methods to repair Windows, but they can be a bit tedious. By all means, follow the advice given here to do if you're so inclined.

    If you would not rather to repair Windows (and I think it's interesting a try) or your repair attempts are unsuccessful, apparently, you would need to use an external optical disc drive and follow the instructions here:

I runs the file, but when it tells me to put a floppy disk in the A: drive and I confirm, the window closes and the diskette is not made. Looks like the copy in the file program is corrupted.

    Yes you are right. Then, I realized that I could open these files using Winzip or Winrar. I thank very you much for responding to my post.

  • Is there a another way to resize the browser to share window by dragging the corner?

    My Firefox window is slightly larger than the size of my desktop, so I put the hand on the corner down to resize the window horizontally. Y at - it a shortcut keyboard or another way to do this?

    • You can resize the window by dragging the cursor of the mouse on any part of the edge of the window, not just the lower corner.
    • Press Alt + space to display the window menu, press S to select the size option, use the arrow keys to resize the window and then Enter to confirm.
    • Click expand in the upper right of the window.
    • Click on the title bar and drag the window to the left, up, or the right edge of the desktop. For more information, see Aero snap.
    • Move the cursor to the upper edge or bottom of the window, until the cursor turns into a two-headed arrow, and then double-click the left button of the mouse.
