Troubleshooting 77
The diskette drive will not read, write, or format.
The diskette drive LED lights continuously.
An adapter card is not recognized by the system.
Probable Cause
Solution
The diskette is not IBM
formatted.
Make certain the diskette you are trying to
format is IBM-compatible. If it is, try refor-
matting it.
The diskette is cor-
rupted.
Run ScanDisk on the diskette. If errors are
detected and corrected, try accessing the
diskette again.
The disk is write pro-
tected.
Make certain the write-protection window on
the upper-right corner of the diskette is
closed (unprotected).
Probable Cause
Solution
The diskette is cor-
rupted.
Remove the diskette from the drive. If the
light remains on, try restarting the system.
The cable to the drive
is not connected prop-
erly.
Open the system and check the cable
between the diskette drive and its controller.
Make certain the pins are not bent or mis-
aligned.
Probable Cause
Solution
The interrupt and/or
I/O address is set
incorrectly.
Check the address configuration of the
adapter card and ensure that it does not
conflict with another card in the system.
The card has not been
configured through the
software (e.g., EISA
configuration utility).
Configure the card with the appropriate soft-
ware.
The card was not
installed correctly.
Reseat the card and make certain that its
jumpers are configured appropriately.
