its to plug into a secure computer server and to minimize risk they no internet access, no optical drive and no open usb ports. you have to use flop which has got to be one of the gayest things in the world as it can only take info in a 4mb package

check the ide cable, its easy to accidentally plug them in backwards and not know wtf is going on.

 

[saltynay]

its not an ide cable though its a floppy cable

perhaps the drive is DOA?? Have you tried it on a different machine to see if it works?

 

[saltynay]

don't have a different desktop to test it on I just pulled it out of the family desktop which has a broken circuit/power board so can't be turned on.

I just plugged in a old Samsung SFD-321J/adnr which is a floppy drive. I can't find any drivers online and it isn't automatically shown on "my computer" someone tell me what I have to do as I desperately have to get some work off onto a floppy disk!!!!

¿ What is a floopy drive ?

Try checking the BIOS as some guys have mentioned early most likely is disable or something.

Lol. Its amazing. In the past week, I've seen people with USB 1.1 yet and dial up...get with the times...

Back to the topic: Make sure that the twist in the ribbon cable is plugged into the floppy drive's end and not the motherboard.

I was offered a computer yesterday running win98 and it had usb ports
