My floppy disk drive cannot write to a disk

￿

The floppy disk may be write-protected. Disable the write-protect feature or use a disk that is not write-

 

protected.

￿

Check that the disk is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.

When I double-click an application icon, a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your drive' appears and the software does not start

Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM.

 

Insert the disc and try starting the program again.

Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing outwards.
