Drive Problems
HINT: For information on saving files to a floppy disk, see the Tell Me How help file (see
"
Accessing Help").
If you cannot save a file to a floppy disk drive
Ensure that Windows® recognizes the drive — Click the Start button and click My
Computer. If the drive is not listed, perform a full scan with your antivirus software to
check for and remove viruses. Viruses can sometimes prevent Windows from recognizing
the drive. Insert a bootable disk and restart the computer. Verify that the
light is
blinking, indicating normal operation.
Ensure that the disk is not write-protected — You cannot save data to a write-
protected disk.
Try another floppy disk — Insert another disk to eliminate the possibility that the
original disk is defective.
