It's possible that a setting in your BIOS is preventing you from being able to write to your floppy disk drive.\nIf you know what the BIOS is, get in there and see if it's set so you can't write to your floppy drive.\nIf you're thinking ??BIOS??, then contact your PC manufacturer or a techie friend (!) and get them to check.\nSee the link below for tips on getting into your BIOS.

You can disable the floppy drive in the bios if you don't use it. It is probably because the floppy is set up as a primary boot device. I have only known the annoying random floppy thing to happen in older computers. I ahve a floppy/card reader combo on my computer now and it never does that.

if you are using windows 98-you can create it  by just going to control panel -add/remove programs- windows setup - make a bootable disk .and insert a floppy( any blank or used one, but floppy should work) and click start after 20% is completed it starts your floppy to convert it as bootable floppy.\nthats it..u also now have a bootable floppy\nbye\ngopi

Check the drive you are using.  If this is a floppy drive you may need to purchase a new one.  These Days most people are using thumb drives instead of floppies though so you may want to look into that...

insert the disk and go to "my computer". right click on your floppy disk drive and click on format.

i handle procurement of computers for our company.  since last year all our new computers don't have floppy drives anymore.  what we did is to issue thumb drives or  flash drives to our employees.  the reason for the switch is thumb drives are more durable than floppy disk and they are impervious to a magnetic field.  you can't say the same w/ a floppy.  just run a magnet over a floppy the the data will be trash.  thumb drives are easier to carry & they hold a lot more data than floppies.  you can't even squeeze an ave. mp3 file in a floppy.\n\nfloppies are dead.  its time you also switch.

there may be something wrong with your floppy drive... it could also be that the drive might have been renamed???\n\nDrive A is a floppy disk... You must still have a very old hrad disk system or that you habe an external A drive... Nowadays, ppl use USB portable...

The floppy is being prepared for use, beause sometime ago before you use a floppy you first have to format it (prepare it) for use and the other hand a Mac format floppy will not work on an IBM PC, so formatting id just a type of preparation.

I would try to format the drive via a floppy startup disk and start again using a Windows disk only, not a recovery disk. do emachines have floppy drives?

Floppy disc usage is becoming rare. People use CDs instead to store files. I can't think of any advantages right now.

get a new floppy drive\n\nif the floppy drive light stays continually on, it could mean that the data cable is not connected properly. in the floppy drives pin 1 is the pin towards the power connector. see that that the cable is connected properly, and on the cable connector, you can tell the pin 1 by the color code. pin1 is usually light colored red.\n\njust pull out the cables and push them back in secure the cables, and try it again.\n\nnumber two cause for floppy drive not working could be that someone inserted something in the drive, which is blocking the head to access the disk surface. Pry open the floppy drive door, and visually inspect if you have something in the drive. this happens if you have little kids in your house, and sometimes when you pull out the diskette from the drive, the steel covering breaks apart, and decides to stay in the drive, you can pull that out too. \nlastly it could be that your floppy drive is just too tired to work for you anymore, and needs a retirement, in that case you will have to get a new floppy drive, which you can get from micro center prolly for $15.

come on now.\nnon system disk or disk error - no boot record on disk.  floppy disk is still in floppy drive.\nprimary master disk hdd smart capability disabled: it's turned off.  guess why.  its trying to boot from a floppy.  \nyour 3 cd drives may have been hosed by power fluctuation, perhaps your power supply is crap.\nthe internet runs slow sometimes; its system resources running out, users on parallel connections (cable internet,) distance from central hub (dsl,) time of day (everything)\n\njust take out the floppy disk.\nseriously.
