Hi all, I have the following problems:
My Floppy drive and CD-RW drives are not working properly.
When I insert a disk in FDD A: and got to windows explorer, try to open A:,
it gives me the prompt: "The disk in drive a: is not formatted" "Do you want
to format it now?".
This is very annoying.
And both CD-RW drives are only being noted as CD drives in explorer when
they are normally noted as CD-RW.
I put a CD-R in and try to read it but nothing is shown. If I go to the CMD
prompt and try to access the FDD or CDRW drives I get the message: "The
volume does not contain a recognized file system". "Please make sure that
all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not
corrupted."..........But I only burnt files onto the CDRW in that same drive
a few months ago! and the same with the FDD!
I have tried updating the drivers but Win XP says they are the most recent.
Have tried re-installing, but CDRW and FDD just reverts back to old ways.
Everything is ok in terms of BIOS and cables as far as I can tell.
Also (may or not be related), for some reason the Sharing and Security
option is not on the right click menu for the FDD or CD drives? any ideas
greatly appreciated as I can't de-select them as being shared.
I am running Win XP Pro on an AMD athlon 2600 using Gigabyte k7m400m m/b,
256 MB ddr, Acer and Lite-on CD-RW drives ( - too old for factory driver
updates).
PLEASE help if you know how! This is really infuriating and I desperately
need these drives to be working.
Kind Regards and Thanks in advance,
Nick.
