Troubleshooting
Use this troubleshooting guide if you encounter problems installing or using the
floppy disk drive.
If . . .
Then . . .
You cannot read files on a disk in
the drive.
Check that the interconnect cable is installed
correctly and completely attached to the
floppy drive and the X terminal.
The WinDD ICA client window
“hangs” when you attempt to
connect network drive.
This typically happens when the local print
spooler or net to port access is enabled. You
(or your system administrator) can disable
them by doing the following:
1. Reset the X server from the Setup window.
2. Modify the
xp.cnf
file to disable the net to
port access or the local print spooler. Then
restart the NC.
The floppy drive will not format a
disk.
Be sure that you use only the “Format”
button at the bottom of the WinDD ICA
client log on window or select “Format”
from the Options menu in the WinDD menu
bar when attempting to format a disk.
Do not use the
Copy Disk
,
Label Disk
, or
Format
Disk
selections in the Disk menu of
the Windows File Manager. These are for use
with the application server’s A: drive; they
have no effect on a disk in your floppy and
may destroy data on any disk in the servers
A: drive.
