Driver For Floppy
Sep 27, 2005
I 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 ?

I have two computers, one of which is not hooked up to the internet but needs a driver for a mouse. Is it possible to download it to media and use it in that form to download it to this computer?

I 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 a Gateway 7422GX which as a Mobility Radeon 9550. I repaired windows using the cd because I restarted my computer and it was either going to take 7min+ to boot, or just wasn't going to. I got stuck at the windows splash screen. I'm using windows professional. Whenever I try to install any of the drivers, I get the same error message: Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit.

Helping 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.

I need to do a fresh install of Win XP SP3 (OEM) from a bootfloppy as I cannot access the CD. I tried the SP2 boot floppy install downloaded from MS. Didn't work. Are there any options to accomplish this? I also have another drive with Win 98 on it, but can't see the CD there as well.

I 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.

I have just got a pc with 2 dvd drives and a floppy drive, I'me not very clued up on media I think the top drive which is d:drive is a dvd rom which I think only plays dvd and cd's. The other drive while I know it is a dvd drive and I am thinking that this will be a burner drive. When I go to my computer I can only see the d:drive a:drive and c:drive should'ent there be an e:drive here as well: When I try to burn something using nero or roxio I am asked to put a disk in the d:drive should'ent this be the e:drive as thats what I think is the burning drive

the 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.

Recently 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?

I 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).

I 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.

I'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?

Do 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.

I need to flash the BIOS on my motherboard. First, however, I need to create a BOOTABLE floppy on which to save the original motherboard BIOS and the flash memory writer before flashing the motherboard to the new BIOS.That way, if the new BIOS doesn't work, I can Flash the old BIOS onto my mb, A WinXP Pro SP2 Command Prompt will not permit me to execute Format AS. So, how can I create a bootable floppy disk under WinXP Pro SP2?

For whatever reason when I stick a typical 1.44 mb floppy in the drive of my XP operated PC, it reads as being 1.38 mb. Is there any reason for this? I tried this on more than 1 XP machine with consistent results.

I just did a clean install of Windows XP Pro with SP2. Everything seems to work fine but i wanted to make a bootup disk with a floppy. I inserted a new one into A: drive which is the floppy drive but the 'Insert Disk' window keeps popping up. I tried to format the disks but it's as though it doesn't recognize the disks. I checked the drivers and it says there's no conflicts. I used to have Win 2000 Pro and it recognized my floppy without any problems. Could the problem be my BIOS or WIN XP?

I have an older Compaq I have ignored for over a year. When I turn it on it acts like it is always in run mode, no disc in it. I used an old floppy to re-boot to no success, I downloaded an ME Boot file of net and loaded it onto my 512mb stick and slid into the usb port also with no success. My intention is to boot the PC up enough to retrieve some data and then do an FBI wipe on the hard drive and start it like new. can i get this up and running without wiping everything first?

My 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

I am trying to get a machine up and running for a friend. It is one he bought off of someone up north and he doesn't know the admin password to be able to use it.
I originally was going to use some software I found in the forums that requires me to boot from a floppy or a cd. I checked the BIOS and have it booting from the hard disk last and yet I cannot boot from either the cd or the floppy.At this point I am willing to Fdisk the whole thing and start fresh. It shouldn't really matter since he has never been on the machine before and can't have any data that he would care about.
