Drive Problems
If you cannot save a file to a floppy disk
IF A WIRELESS DEVICE BEGINS TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY AND A
USB
DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO A FRONT-PANEL USB CONNECTOR,
RECONNECT THE USB DEVICE TO THE FRONT-PANEL USB
CONNECTOR — Any USB device(s) connected to the front-panel USB
connector(s) can cause interference with a wireless device.
CHECK FOR INTERRUPT REQUEST CONFLICTS — See page 47.
ENSURE THAT WINDOWS RECOGNIZES THE DRIVE — In Windows XP,
click the Start button, and then click My Computer. In Windows Me and
Windows 2000, double-click the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop. If
the floppy drive is not listed, perform a full scan with your antivirus software to
check for and remove viruses. Viruses can sometimes prevent Windows from
recognizing the drive.
TEST THE DRIVE WITH ANOTHER FLOPPY DISK — Insert another floppy
disk to eliminate the possibility that the original floppy disk is defective.
