Windows XP machine lost second hard drive?
I am running an old Dell with XP. A year or so ago I installed a 1.5 Gig Seagate drive without any problems. A couple of week ago Windows stopped recognizing the drive. When I start up I get a message that says Windows can't locate a floppy drive, press F1 to continue. I would rather not reformat the drive and reinstall (and have to copy loads of files back to it). Is there any way to get Windows to recognize it short of that? Thanks
1 AnswerOther - Hardware8 years agoDVD writer won't write?
I have a Dell Dimension E520 running XP media. I am trying to burn a data DVD copying files from one DVD drive to another. When the writing DVD drive is empty is shows on my computer as DVD-RW Drove (D:). When I insert a blank DVD-R (I have tried several disks and two brands) it changes to "CD Drvie (D:)" I have updated Windows and drivers. Please help
