Has anyone used this floppy drive to gain access to an XP floppy disc.--Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but I have used the drive numerous times to copy floppy disks created on Windows XP to my computer's hard drive running Windows 7. However not all XP programs will work in the Windows 7 operating system. All of the files like excel, winword, etc. created on a floppy and transferred to the 7 hard drive were usable by the programs. Hope this helps.

I have quicken data created on windows 98SE and backed up on 3-1/2 floppy. Will my quicken program on windows 7 be able to read this data?

I have used this "A" disk drive on my Windows 7 OS. In fact it helped me find old photos on my floppy drives which I had forgotten about. No problem with it and the drive is recognized as soon as I attached it to the computer.

Hi, You can use the mini CD which containing drivers and software. In reality the softwares are old and only for XP. In reality you can use softwares given by IPCAS, i let you search on the web... Regards

I've only used it with Win7 and Vista, but there's nothing that jumped out at me that suggested it shouldn't work with XP. It should be noted though that it's slow and barely functional on all versions of Windows - it's just poorly written software period.

I also have an older XP and newer Win7 that I needed to transfer to and from. I just used it last night. Some said it didn't work for them. I followed the instructions on the package and all went ok. I was concerned because part of the program it said Win7 and another part said Win8, but after plugging in the cable I went through some choices of which to transfer from and which files, etc. It also told me later which files/programs couldn't be transferred. I am happy with it so far.

I have a 160 gig drive from a crashed laptop. XP argued about it but relented and there is no problem with 7.

I'm sorry. That I can not answer. I don't have that disk nor have I heard of it. I only have the oem xp pro and xp home editions.

Well, I have some old Verbatim and 3M floppies. And the external floppy I bought described here worked very well. I don't know why they would not work for you. If they are corrupted or they are non-functional that may be the case. Sorry I could not give you something more.

You will need to install drivers for XP. Go to the website and find the correct driver. Once it is set up, the device works very well.

My Unit was simply plug and play. After plugging it into the USB port, I found it as a drive with the other drives under my computer icon. It identified as floppy disc drive A. I put a disc in that fit and opened the files on it. I found it a little clumsy trying to read fills. The screen message said I needed to format the disc. I did not format for fear of losing the data I knew was on the disc. After fooling around with it and retrying, It finally read the disc's data. When I put in a fresh floppy and formated it, I had no problems rereading the new data saved on the fresh disc.
