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 fr o nt-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.
