Troubleshooting drives, PC cards and peripheral devices
I inserted a compatible device into the multipurpose drive bay, but the icon
does not appear in the My Computer window
❑
The device has not been recognized. Put the notebook into System Idle mode
by pressing the Fn and S keys and then resume.
❑
If the device is still not recognized or does not appear in the My Computer
window, remove and reinsert it.
My floppy disk drive can not write to a diskette

If the diskette is write-protected, disable the write-protect feature or use a
diskette that is not write-protected.
