I have a Y-E Data Floppy Drive and when I plug it into a USB Port I get a
message that a new hardware has been found and then a message that it is not
reconized by windows. Looked in the Hardware profile and it is not listed
and the Floppy Disk Controller has a yellow !. Click properties and it says
it can't start Code 10. What do I do now??? Tried the Floppy on another
computer and works OK. Frosty
