I had no problems using windows 8. Plugged in and converted floppy discs at once without problems.

If you are asking if this drive works for downloading 3.5 floppy discs. You have a 50/50 chance. I have had nothing buy bad luck with this product. Wish I could help.

Yes it will. I have a customer running a PC that I built that has this unit in place of the floppy. They bring jobs from their laptop computer to the machine and upload through a flash drive.

It should work. What do you mean not recognized? Can you not see the drive in Disk Utilities in order to format the drive?

This should be compatible with it. Any 2.5 HDDs I have used have been compatible with it.

NO, this drive is for 3.5 Stiffy Disks only. (5.25 disks need a special computer card that couples via a USB cable and an old 5.25 drive with an old PC power supply to drive it)

I would guess yes it does, I know it works with embroidery machines. Check out your current drive if it's standard power plug and data cable for floppy, this should work. Te biggest problem is formatting your thumb drive properly, I have some links to the software if you need it.

I would have to answer, that as long as the data (pictures) on your disks are intact -- can be read and displayed from the diskettes they are stored on -- then yes. You didn't say, so I'll assume, that you have a Windows PC (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8). This floppy drive should work just fine.

If it uses a standard floppy drive, yes.There are a few drives, made by Sony and mainly used by HP, that these aren't compatible with.

The unit is simply labelled as USB Floppy Disk Drive but when connected it shows as "Mitsumi USB FDD 061M" - hope this helps

I was able to transfer all of my floppys to my computer using this drive. You should be able to then transfer or burn them to cd or dvd.

I don't know that answer as I own an SWF machine which is replaces the floppy drive via a ribbon cable and works fine. It doesn't fit exactly though....just saying.

I have not oprned the package, the usb floppy disc drive I am currently using has occassionally refused to release the disc for removal, but is still working so this Amazon purchase was bought while available if replcement is necessary. No 5¼" dirve is noted on the package but states "compatible Mac OSX, Windows 7, Windoes Vista and Wndows XP". also compatible with USB 1.1/2.0/3..... unfortunately, I am not a computer expert, just know the basics which is adequate for an 89 y.o.

Yes, you must change. In addition you have to change all connected IDE-ATA devices to SATA connection and remove the floppy drive.

Yes, it is. Just make sure your chassis has mounting points for a 2.5" drive, or a 3.5" adapter for it.

It is USB 3.0 & 2.0 compatible and since you are supplying and formatting the drives it should work just fine.

Hi Jim, not think you have any problems, disk size and connectors are equal, it should work perfectly.

It worked great on my 3.5 drives, both IDE and serial ATA. I don't have any 2.5 drives, so I can't answer to that.
