Driver For Floppy
Sep 27, 2005I need a driver for the floppy, supported by XP, but different to the one it installs automatically.It´s due that I can´t write to the floppy, but when I disabled the onboard SIS AGP Graphics Adaptor on the Device Manager, then I´m able to write to it.The graphics driver was updated, but the problem persists. For this reason I need to test with a different floppy driver.But to find it on any site of the web has been impossible for me. Does anybody knows exactly where to find it ?

Dec 7, 2007I tried to create a separate partition on this hard drive, using partition magic, to use for backup.I had just successfully created one on my other computer using partition magic five minutes ago.It went through all the steps and then told me that it did not successfully create the partition on this one.I tried to run the "create restore discs" utility and it kept asking for a floppy disc which my machine doesn't have.I then press enter and it brings up the black screen asking me to choose which operating system to start. The choices are: Windows Media Center or System Restore.

I have an old dos app that needs to print to a hp laser 2300 have setup "net use lpt1: \computernamepname /persistant:yes changed bios settings to parllel mode to epp,ecc and ps2 setup share on printer and checked spelling type "net use" shows lpt1 -> ok turned bidirectional printing on and off tried to print directly to printer turn spooler off. deleted all printers and drivers and reinstalled from HP
prints fine from all window applications. when you try to print from the dos app with spooler off nothing. when you try to print with spooler on you can see a job go to spooler then a second job will appear and the first will delete this will loop-continue until you cancell all print jobs. after this happens once. Windows applications will not print any longer. Does the same thing as the dos app have to reboot to fix window apps.

Floppy Not Detected
Apr 24, 2006Helping a friend with his computer (Gateway w/XP Home SP2) and discovered his floppy drive does not detect the floppy disk when it is inserted. I was attempting to created Ghost images from the floppy and it would boot into the OS instead of the bootable floppy. Checked BIOS and boot sequence was correct (2nd boot device). Tried 3 different disks still no joy. Clicked on A:/ drive in Windows Explorer (with floppy disk inserted) and got "Device not accessible". Checked floppy drive properties in Device Manager and it says device is operating normally.
I have not yet opened the tower to check connections, but to date the tower has never been opened since the computer was purchased a couple of years ago. I do not know whether the floppy has ever been actually used. My friend doesn't remember ever using it.Checked the bootable floppy in my computer and it worked just fine.
Installing Win SP3 From Floppy

Aug 21, 2008I had two computers -- one was a Windows 98 and the other an XP. I had four files on my 98 that I wanted to keep before I got rid of it, so I saved the files onto a floppy (the internet wasn't working on the 98). I have an XP that has a floppy drive, so I thought it would be fine.Some of the four files are rtf (WordPad) or doc.When I inserted the floppy, "A:" showed up, and the first two files transferred over to my desktop fine. As for the last two, when I double-click or try to open it in a window comes up, a different message pops up each time. One time it said, "The disk in drive A is not formatted. Would you like to format it now?" When I tried to open one of the rtf files in WordPad, it said that it couldn't open Word 6.0 files.

Aug 17, 2008the computer is a SolidPPC50 515 Model, which has no internal CD-ROM or Floppy drive. I have an external USB CD-ROM and Floppy, but there are only 2 USB ports, and no PS/2 keyboard slot, so I've had to use a USB keyboard. Despite the BIOS being compatible with booting through USB, it doesn't recognise the CD-ROM, but it does recognise the Floppy. I tried using a bootable floppy with the I386 folder from the install CD copied to the Hard Drive (formatted as FAT32), but when I run WINNT.exe then try to change over the Floppy drive for the CD-ROM, it can't find the CD-ROM drive.

Keeps Trying To Access Floppy Drive
Sep 23, 2005Recently the computer has been trying to access my floppy drive both on boot up and when I shut down. There is no disk in the drive. The computer also gives no errors. It never used to do that. My concern is that something is set up incorrectly, in addition to it being annoying.I am contemplating formatting my HD and starting from scratch. But before I do any ideas what could be causing this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedComputer Won't Recognize The Floppy
Jul 11, 2005I assumed when I bought my second Dell, I could just take my old floppy drive and slave drive from my old one & put it in the new one. However, the new computer won't recognize the floppy and the inputs on the back of the drive in the new computer are totally different than both drives in my old one. The drive I want to install is a Seagate Barracuda 120gb. It uses a 20 pin cable, but the drive (NCQ SATA)in the new computer has a much smaller cable input & I can't figure out how to install it. Any input? On a separate note, is there any way to connect two computers, such as with a serial cable, to read the drives on the second one (without using a router).
Backup Restore Without ASR Floppy
Aug 22, 2010I have a question about being able to restore data using the Windows Backup program in XP WITHOUT making an ASR floppy. (I apologize for not having any more details about the system. I don't own the system and don't have access to it right now.) I chose the 3rd option, to backup "All information on this computer," and backing up to an external HD took about an hour. However, I'm not familiar with the program and didn't know that I would need a floppy disk after the backup. I didn't have access to one and therefore had to cancel that part of the backup.If the system's internal HD fails and loses all its data, will the external HD be able to restore everything even though I never created an ASR floppy? (i.e. will I be able to create a working ASR floppy somehow even if the system's own internal HD is dead?)I should note that I'm referring to personal data files (MS Office documents, pictures, etc.), NOT application files. I've tried to find the answer on this forum and other sites, but this specific question did not seem to be addressed.

Jul 11, 2007I'm having problems with windows xp on a laptop with preinstalled vista that has no floppy drive, the error "It doesn't detect the SATA HDD"; I tried the solution with a usb floppy drive and pressing f6, I found the correct driver and it works fine, I`m able to partition the HD and the process continues until it asks for the driver again but the USB floppy drive doesn't wortk in that part of the installation.
The next solution I found of this forum was making a custom XP CD including the SATA drivers with NLITE software, incredible software, without pressing f6 the HD is detected and again I'm able to partition and the installation begins, almost success!! but ... when it reboots to continue the installation it does't detect the HD again a lecture error displays and the classic press ctrl+alt+del to reboot!!! Am I missing something?
Floppy Drive Tap Dance
Nov 11, 2008Do any one of several things. Access my external drive, the floppy does a disc check for several seconds, right click explore a partition or folder and frequently yhe same thing happens. Put in audio cd to auto run, first the floppy has to do its chugga bugga chugga sound then the cd plays. Started over a week ago, or about when I formatted a floppy to make new Partition Magic emerg. discs. I rememeber something like this on a Win98SE machine a very long time ago. Tried some searches with not much luck, tried uninstalling in safe mode and rebooting, no joy.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFloppy Drive Runs Intermittently
Apr 4, 2007My floppy (A: drive) runs intermittently when my PC is on. Here is what I have come up with so far. This started after I reformatted and reinstalled XP Pro. During the reinstallation I did not use the floppy for anything so it is not hanging and waiting for a file. I have checked my registry for any reference to the floppy. I have uninstalled NAV and MS Office and it still happens. I have not made any changes in my BIOS. It boots into the hard drive first. I have cleaned out the recent documents file area. I have checked my startup folder. Sometime it will access the drive while surfing in IE and clicking to another web page. Just clicking the "My Computer" icon will make it run. I have Googled and tried everything I can find and the problem persist. Any thoughts? Thanks
