My floppy disk drive cannot write to a disk
❑
The disk may be 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 floppy disk may be corrupt. Try to insert another disk.
When I double-click an application icon a message such as

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.
