Why does my floppy disk drive say 5.25" underneath the MY COMPUTER when the drive is a 3.5"?

UKT Support - CTX Notebooks
You have set up the supervisor or user password in the BIOS, however, you did not provide the password when you were asked by the system during the bootup phase. You will not be able to access the floppy drive until you reboot the system, and enter the proper password. If your notebook floppy disk drive won't work with diskettes that you are sure good (you can check them by trying them on another personal computer system) then your floppy disk drive has probably gotten out of alignment.

What Is A Floppy Drive?

PC Basics
A floppy disk drive is an economical, removable storage medium. It uses a magnetic disk. You can record or erase it and then remove it from the computer. You can use the removable disk repeatedly. Today's floppy is 3.5 inches of square, stiff plastic with a magnetic disk inside. It is called a floppy because the original disk, way back when, was large and floppy like a hound dog's ear. The term "floppy" is still with us.

The details may depend on which anti-virus software you're using.

What is the life expectancy of a 3.5" floppy diskette?

Frequently Asked Questions About Diskette
The life expectancy is highly dependent on the storage conditions. Under controlled temperatures, humidity and dust conditions the diskette should last forever. Storing in an area where temperatures are fairly constant (17 to 25 degrees C.), humidity that is controlled and in a storage box so dust doesn't collect on them should not be a problem.

If you plan to always look at DOS floppies, it is easy to edit the file /etc/fstab and change the line: You will now be able to use the command mount /mnt/floppy to mount the floppy and the command umount /mnt/floppy to unmount the floppy before you eject it.

Why should I avoid using floppy disks?

Technical Support Centre Faq's
Floppy Disks are extremely unreliable! Many students have lost essays and class projects as a result of a failing floppy disk. Don't let this happen to you! If you must use a floppy disk, make at least two back-up disks. Always create more than one copy of your files, and save them in multiple locations (or e-mail the file to yourself) Print out a hard copy of your document. In the event of floppy disk damage, you will still have the printed copy to work from. Beware of viruses.

Why can't I read floppy disks directly via my PC floppy drive?

Red Squirrel - Acorn Archimedes and RiscPC Emulator
Because it doesn't work yet. RedSquirrel is a Win32 application and as such is restricted to using the Win32 API. Windows doesn't support anything other than 512byte blocks on floppy/hard disks and Acorn disks use 1024 byte blocks. There are two ways around this, neither are pretty and neither work under Windows 2000. I had a half hearted attempt at writing a VXD to give me bios access but it hasn't been entirely successful. I will try again soon.

Click "Start," then "My Computer" and look for the Floppy Drive (usually drive A). If you don't see the drive, perform a full system scan using anti-virus software.

DLSU (ITC) Help Desk
The floppy drive light is normally on when the floppy drive is accessing a floppy disk, but if the floppy drive light is on continously, the drive may not be properly connected to the computer. You should make sure the ribbon cable is properly attached to the connector on the system board and to the connector on the back of the floppy drive.

Why isn't a floppy disk drive included?

Previous Products
Floppy drives are really of very limited value today as a consequence of the 1.4 MB capacity. CD-ROMs and DVDs are essentially the exclusive media for software distribution and information via subscription when physical media is appropriate. Rackmounting the system with the optional rackmount kit, X9628A, is certainly possible. The practicality will depend upon the environment in which the system resides. Generally, within a data center, rackmounting is preferable.

Frequenly Asked Questions

You can clean your drive by purchasing a drive-cleaning kit, which can typically be found in an office-supply store for less than $10.
