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.

To avoid losing data, do not push the Eject button when the LED indicator is on.
