Re: USB Floppy drive

Should not XP recognize any USB device?

Even so, the instructions that came with the drive states "Connect to any
USB port. Once
you have made the connection your system will automatically detect the drive
as a new device and load the necessary drivers.

Only for Windows 98 does it state to install drivers from CD

Hi Richard,

It came with drivers for a reason. Remove the USB Drive. Reboot.
Install the Drivers. Reboot and now plug the Drive into the USB Port.

It came with drivers which I did not install as I'm using XP pro

I tried it on a computer here at work running XP home, same issue

Hi Richard,

Did the USB Floppy Drive come with Drivers? Did you install the
drivers first or connect the Drive first?

I just purchased a USB Floppy drive, I am running XPpro. I plugged in
the
drive, heard the sound of the computer seeing the usb device. Device
Manager
sees the device with no problems...

Yet it doesn't appear in My Computer as a drive

I've tried rebooting the computer, (which shouldn't be required) and
still
don't see the drive.

When I put in a floppy disk, the drive LED comes on, it has power...

It'll be tomorrow before I can try this drive on a different computer

Richard
