I'd like some helping hand about my floppy device I was only copying files from a diskette, since that this device denies to recognice the format and data from diskettes. There is no problem in the system about plug and play devices and drivers. I tried to clean with a special cleaning diskette, searching for viruses, (Norton AV december 10 2000 releases),It appears in explorer, the system messages are: " Drive A does not have format, do wantyou to format it now?" "Device that the direct access is reffering to, can not be found..." In MS dos window: "fail, the actual unit is not valid yet..." CAN YOU HELP ME? SHOULD I BUY A NEW FLOPPY DEVICE _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
