Guest bijobe Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Device Manager shows up with yellow ! in my external floppy drive...click on and get driver info: Driver (Service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionally. (Code 32) I am simply going around and around...since it is a system32 driver problem. I can uninstall the driver but must reboot to complete, then WinXP finds the hardware, but get msg: Have installed your hardware, but, a problem with installation may prevent your hardware from working. And, sure enough, same thing. I cannot delete driver, replace, since it is a system driver. I need this floppy drive to use some disks I had for previouis computer....thanks.... --

If it works there then you have a Windows problem. If it fails there too then you have a problem with your drive.
Guest bijobe Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Re: USB external floppy disk drive will not work -- Yes, did that...installed on another XP machine, and it installed fine! And, yes, WinXP has the drivers in System32 so you cannot delete one and replace with a driver from another XP machine. Need other suggestions...tried all I know how to try...thanks for response tho...J "Pegasus (MVP)" wrote: > > "bijobe" <bijobe@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:FB28C14A-942B-4F3A-812B-A817B1A6B74E@microsoft.com... > > Device Manager shows up with yellow ! in my external floppy drive...click > > on > > and get driver info: Driver (Service) for this device has been disabled. > > An > > alternate driver may be providing this functionally.
