Drive Problems
HINT: For information on saving files to a floppy disk, see the Tell Me How help file. See
"
Accessing Help Files."
If you cannot save a file to a floppy drive
Ensure that Windows recognizes the drive— In Windows XP, click the Start button,
and then click My Computer. In Windows Me and Windows 2000, double-click the My
Computer icon on the Windows desktop. If the floppy 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.
Ensure that the disk is not write-protected— You cannot save data to a write-
protected disk. See the following figure.
Try another floppy disk— Insert another disk to eliminate the possibility that the
original disk is defective.
