sucessfully installed but after inserting floppy keeps wanting to format disk

Floppy isn't being read probably due to track alignment differences between drive used to create the floppy and trying to read it on another device. If you have an unformatted floppy, format it, and it should work.

If your using it as a secondary drive Windows will reformat it for you. I reformatted mine several times.

The install routine will ask you where to install. When it does this you can choose to format the drive and then install. I like the others recommend a clean install.

I had the same problem with this drive. If you have a hard drive format cd from another drive, you may have to use it. I had to end up using a Linux Mint disk, format the drive through gparted, reboot, reinstall the partition table, and format it again.

You may need to format it, first. On Mac OS X, run Disk Utility. If it does not show up in Disk Utility, something is wrong.

Yup. I can fix it. Your whole hard drive must be formatted and firmware update is required alongwith partition table re-creation

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

It will continue to copy. You would need to run a utility like Advanced System Care that checks for disk errors.

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.

I put in a drive with data on it and windows wouldn't recognize it unless I formatted it first. Works fine after formatting, but I had to backup all of my data before using the drive.

We're having a similar problem. It keeps telling us it is "Write-Protected." Tried reformatting several times under different OS's and same problem.

Theoretically it should. However this device worked only twice for me and then died completely. I definitely would not recommend buying this one. I suggest you should try out a floppy drive from a more reliable brand.

No, use your manufacture drive tool , third party software or simply reformat existing drive

It is probably a software pre-installed on the drive that is telling you to do that. If you don't want to use it, format the drive before you start using.

I reformat the disc! The tools menu has this as an option, and it works great. I do it after every download.

The floppy included does not list win 7. I plugged it in the usb and Win 7 64n bit recognized it immediately. I was able to view photos as well as format disk. Slower than having it built into the machine, but don't know if that is just the nature of the beast... works fine so far. It is recognized a drive A: in the My Computer section
