Peripheral/adapter problems

A SCSI device is not recognized by the system

The diskette drive is not recognized by the system

Probable Cause

Solution

The device needs to be 
added as new hardware.

From the Control Panel window (Start 
Settings Control Panel), double-click Add 
New Hardware
. Follow the directions for 
adding the device. If you are not experienced 
with this procedure, call technical support.

The SCSI ID may be 
invalid.

Assign an available SCSI ID to the device.

The SCSI chain is not 
terminated.

Make sure the last device on the SCSI chain 
is terminated.

The device cables are 
not installed correctly.

Open the system, then check all cables 
between the controller and the device.

Probable Cause

Solution

The diskette drive may 
be configured incorrectly.

Restart your computer, then press 

F1

 to enter 

the BIOS Setup utility program. From the Boot 
Removable Devices menu, make sure that 
the disk drive parameters are set correctly.

The drive cables are not 
connected properly.

Open the system, then check all cables 
connected to the controller card.

The drive controller is not 
seated properly.

Open the system, then reseat the drive 
controller.

Important

Some systems do not have a floppy controller card 
because the floppy controller is built into the system board.
