Floppy not shown

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

What type of floppy drive is it? USB? Try visiting the manufacturer for
updated drivers. Have you try a different USB device to confirm that your
USB port is good?

This is a quote for Error 39 (from
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Window... )
Reasons for this error include a driver that is not present; a binary file
that is corrupt; a file I/O problem, or a driver that references an entry
point in another binary file that could not be loaded.

Uninstall the driver, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall
or upgrade the driver.

On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the
troubleshooting wizard.

I had a problem with my floppy being recognized recently - and rather than
spend the time troubleshooting it, I bought a USB floppy on the web for about
$25. No more problem!

Have you tried putting another floppy drive?

Hi Chris,

Remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the
following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
{4D36E980-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Programs/Administrative Tools/Services/In the right pane set"Shell Hardware
Detection" service to manual startup. Set it to automatic.

Or ....

Go to Start/Run/services.msc

Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services. In the right pane find
Shell Hardware Detection and set it to Automatic.

Code 39
Hi this is what it means
The driver is missing or corrupted, or is in conflict with another
driver. Look for an updated driver ot reinstall the current driver. If
the driver worked previously, use System Restore to roll back to a
working configuration.

Also check ribbon is firmly pushed into the back of the Adrive.
