What if I test some very old Knoppix? Those days floppies were still around. And I need USB as non of my computers (even servers) do not have floppy connection (it wasn’t ATA as I recall but still I only have SATA and SAS connectors). I read a lot here and there and most Linux programs do not support USB drives. While the computer is shutting down, you may unplug the device and then re-plug the device once the WindowS is loaded on the computer.Īgain go to “Device Manager” and then click on the “Scan for hardware changes” button.Ĭheck if Windows detects the Floppy Disk device and installs an appropriate driver automatically.I bought a new, unsealed pack of FDDs. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.įollow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted. Search for the Floppy Disk device from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.Ĭlick on “Device Manager” from that list. If it persists, try to uninstall and Reinstall the Floppy Disk Drivers from the Device Manager: If you have floppy drive listed there without a drive letter, then you may assign the drive letter (A) to it and check if that is shown in “This PC” now and then try to access it from the “Windows Explorer”. You should be able to see the hard disk partitions and the removable drives connected to the computer in the Disk Management.Ĭheck if you have any drives without any drive letters assigned to it. Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard and select “Disk Management” from that list. Please open the Disk Management and check if a drive letter is assigned to the floppy drive.
