TROUBLESHOOTING
Drive activity LED does not light when attempting
a read or write data.
Make sure that the interface cable and power cables are
properly connected.
Drive activity LED lights as soon as power is applied
to computer, and stays lit.
The ribbon cable may be reversed. Check orientation of Pin# 1.
Invalid media or “Track 00 bad” message when
attempting to format media.
Make sure you format your floppy disk media to the correct
capacity. A high-density diskette (HD) requires a 1.44MB
format, a double-density (DD) diskette requires a 720k format.
Your drive may not be properly configured in CMOS. Confirm
that the floppy drive is correctly configured in your computer’s
CMOS settings.
