Solving Problems: Dell Inspiron 2600 and 2650

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 — In Windows XP, click

the Start button and click My Computer. In Windows 2000, double-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. See the following figure.

Try another floppy disk — Insert another disk to eliminate the possibility

that the original disk is defective.
