Sony PCGNV200 Frequently asked questions, Why is the drive unable to write data to a floppy disk?

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't the Safety Remove Hardware icon appear on the taskbar when the drive is inserted?

The computer does not recognize the floppy disk drive. Make sure the floppy disk drive was properly inserted into the multipurpose bay. See Installing a device for more information.

Why is the drive unable to write data to a floppy disk?

The floppy disk drive cannot write data to a disk if it is inserted into the drive improperly. See Inserting and removing floppy disks for instructions on how to insert the disk properly.

If the disk is inserted properly and you are still unable to write data to it, the disk may be write-protected. You can either use a floppy disk that is not write-protected or disable the write-protect feature.
