The error message said: The system cannot read front the specifier device.
I went into Manager
Device-Disk Controller-Properties to update drive ,and location the dive in C:\windows\inf\msfdc.inf.
Then I had updated it but it still did not work.
Can anyone help me please.
Thank you.

And perhaps the plug might not be in properly...sometimes they fall out but not very often. IDE cables are best at falling out. Guest (0)

Thankyou.

Is the computer in a dusty place? Floppy drives are extremely efficient at collecting dust. I have seen them full. They tend to not work when in that condition.
