| 152525 | 2003-06-14 12:07:00 | When i try and boot computer with windows startup disk in floppy drive i get this error message "Disk I/O Error" "Replace disk,then press any key" When i try an open the floppy drive i get this "A:/ is not accesible" "The system cannot read from the specified drive" The computer will boot into windows as long as there is not disk in the floppy, Is there any way i can get floppy to start. |

It may be just a bad connection. Also check the settings in the System Properties, Device Manager (right mouse click on My Computer on the desktop). Is there any indication of a problem there? If there is still a problem it could be your floppy drive is history. A new drive is about $30 these days. Also, I'm assuming you've tried reading from several disks, otherwise it may just be a bad disk. Floppy disks are not that reliable. |
