My USB floppy disk drive cannot write to a floppy disk
The floppy disk is write-protected. Disable the write-protect feature or use a floppy disk that is not write-
protected.
Check that the disk is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.
Your disk may be corrupt. Try to insert another floppy disk.
When I double-click an application icon a message such as 'You must insert the application CD into your
CD-ROM drive' appears and the software does not start.
Some titles require specific files that are located on the application CD-ROM. Insert the disc and try
starting the program again.
Make sure you place the disc in the tray with the label side facing up.
Why does my CD-RW drive not record at the highest speed?
You must use 8x CD-R or 4x CD-RW media or higher to achieve optimum performance.
If you want to use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW discs, change the writing
speed from 4x to a lower setting.
To change the writing speed from the default to a lower speed, proceed as follows:
1
Go to
My Computer
from the
Start
menu.
2
Right-click the disc drive icon.
3
Select
Properties
.
4
Select the
Settings
tab.
5
Change the
Current Write Speed
field to 2x.
6
Click
OK
.
The VAIO notebook has a maximum recording rate of 8x for CD-R and 4x for CD-RW discs.
