May your disk is damage try other disk... or may be the rewriter of your drive is damage... you have to change it...

Thanks but i managed to sort it out but the light is still on on my multi card reader can someone tell me if this correct thanks

Curlyben

Yep that's fine

Chery

How did you manage to 'sort it out'? It would be nice if you shared it with us. Glad it's fixed now. I was going to suggest you tell your computer that it has a floppy drive now by letting it recognize new hardware in the setup. Is this what you did?

Dr Goldfoot

It was easy when you know of course but i had the lead from the mb to the floppy the wrong way round silly really

Chery

Cool, thanks for your reply - sometimes it's just a little thingy, but can be very irritating, especially when you want to get the pc to work. Again, glad you got it fixed - and you'll not forget that experience again, huh?

Hope you enjoy your stay here at AMHD, it's a fun site!
