Floppies
Why doesn't the Safely Remove Hardware icon appear on the taskbar when the drive is connected?
The computer does not recognize the floppy disk drive. First, make sure the USB cable is properly connected to the USB
port. If you need to secure the connection, wait a few moments for the computer to recognize the drive. If the icon still
does not appear, follow these steps:
1. Close all programs that were accessing the floppy disk drive.
2. Wait for the LED indicator on the floppy disk drive to turn off.
3. Push the Eject button, and remove the disk.
4. Reconnect the floppy disk drive by inserting the USB connector (with the USB icon facing upward) into the USB
port .
5. Restart the computer by clicking Start on the Windows ® taskbar, Turn Off Computer, and then Restart.
