PROBLEM: My Floppy Drive won’t save my work.

ACTIONS:

•Is the optional USB Floppy Disk Drive properly connected to one of the USB ports on your system? Check the connection.

•If the optional USB Floppy Disk Drive does not seem to be working properly, try restarting your system with it connected to the port.

•If the optional USB Floppy Disk Drive is running through another USB device with a pass-through port or is running through a hub, try connect- ing directly to one of the USB ports on your system. If this corrects the problem, check with the manufacturer of the device or hub for help in troubleshooting this problem.

•Is the write-protect tab on the floppy disk open? The 3 1/2 inch disks used in the WinBook notebook floppy disk drive feature a write-protect tab that must be closed to allow you to save to the disk. If there is a hole on the left-hand side of the disk, pull the disk completely from the drive and turn it over. You should find a sliding tab between the hole and the edge of the disk. Slide the tab closed to save files on the disk.

•Have you formatted the disk? Some new disks are not formatted for use with your WinBook notebook. If your disk is not formatted, or if the disk is formatted for use with another type of computer, Windows will notify you. Format the floppy disk by clicking on My Computer, then right- clicking on the 3 1/2 floppy icon and selecting Format.
