not recognizing the drive, or the
drive itself is dirty or faulty. 1. Make sure a correctly
formatted disk is inserted
correctly. Try another disk if
necessary. Refer to the M-Series
User Manual for formatting
instructions. If the problem
persists with a correctly
formatted and inserted disk,
proceed with the next step.

lights while you attempt access

cleaning kit (available in
computer stores) and try disk
access again. If the problem
persists, proceed with the next
step.
