It reads an A:&#92; drive as a floppy reader but there is not such thing in the kit. I did not install one.

If I am correct, all you see is an A: icon. That you will see no matter you do, it is there by default.\nTo see your DVD you must first go into setup (BIOS) by either hitting F2 or "delete" or whatever your motherboard vendors uses to get into setup, just as the computer is turned on and initializes post. Then go look through the menu till you find enable  primary, secondary, or both EIDE. select "both" only if you are NOT using a SATA drive, in which case then choose secondary only.

I would need to know what kind of file it is. Usually if your computer can't open it, it is because it is either an incompatible file, or  the program that created the file isn't on your computer.

Not only is it a separate slave drive or just a partition on the same disk but, have any of the letters for your other drives changed? We kinda need this info in order to be able to give you the PROPER instructions to fix your problem.\n\nHowever, by reading your question, carefully, I'm wondering if your cd drive was being called "D" drive. If it that's the case and it continues not to read cds you put in it, you may have to take your puter into the shop and have the connections on the hardware checked as well as the reader on the cd-rom drive itself.

Usually you have to create the boot floppy first and then the image of that is stored on the CD in a special session.  Once booted, the computer accesses the A: drive which redirects to the CD floppy image.\n\nYou can use NERO to make these.

So you are saying that E is your CD-rom and F is showing the contents of the CD rom again? CD rom is supposed to be read only.\n\n============================================================\nDid you install from Windows XP distribution CD or the recovery CD provided by the hardware manufacturer. Recovery CDs sometimes create an image of the drive and makes it read only.

A few ideas:\n\n1.  Make sure that your autoread didn't just get turned off and check in My Computer to see if there is a 'Removable Disk' listed.\n\n2.  Try rebooting your computer and trying again.  Sometimes if you take it out without choosing the "Remove device" option it will still think its there and get messed up.\n\n3.  Check the Device Manager (Control Panel --> System --> Hardware tab --> Device Manager) and make sure your memory card reader is still installed.

I've listed 3 different ways you can do this.  First, place the floppy into the floppy drive.  Then do one of the following:\n1) If document is open, click File>Save As>Use existing name or type new name in File Name box>At the top, see the phrase 'Save In', from the dropdown, click the arrow and select 3 1/2 Floppy(A) (usually 'A' drive).\n2) If the file has been previously saved (to your 'C' drive, desktop or any other drive), double click 'My Computer' > navigate to location of file to be copied.> RIGHT-click file name >Select 'Send To' 3 1/2" Floppy(A).\n3)  Also, last option, if previously saved, double click 'My Computer' > navigate to location of file to be copied.> Double click 'My Computer' again to open a 2nd 'My Computer' window > Click on the file name from the first window and keep it clicked. Then drag to 3 1/2" Floppy(A) in the 2nd window.

Yuck, that means the disc is bad. I hate it when that happens, thats why I use CDs now and I double backup.\n\nI'm sorry, but there is a chance your floppy has gone bad and it wont be use-able until you format it again, which will erase all data.\n\nTo make sure, I would try to open the floppy on a different computer. If it opens , then that means you might need to clean your floppy drive a bit.

There is nothing to install. A floppy disk is a low-capacity external storage device, much like a flash drive. Just pop the disk into your computer, sae the neccessary files onto it, take the disk out, put it into another computer, and load up the files. Its just used to save or transfer data.\n\nNow, if you mean you have a seperate unit that you plug the disks into, thats another story. First, try following the instructions that (hopefully) came with the drive. \n\nIf you have Windows XP, try just plugging it in; XP is able to recognize tons of hardware and may install it automatically. \n\nIf you still can find an answer, try going to some message boards or forums related to this topic or call into a tech radio show, visit a specialty store, etc.

If nothing can read it you would have to use an advanced program that uses bit stream copying to get the information back. Through any normal means the hard drive is dead and all information is lost. If it is imparative that you get the information off of it take it to a computer repair shop and ask them to retrieve whatever data they can. If it is not important to save the data that was on there you will need to buy a new drive and set up your computer again. Hope this helps.
