No No No. Please just post your problem here the best way you know how. Also give us the brand and serial # of the floppy drive/CD drive/DVD drive you are having the problem with.
A laptop with a floppy drive is some what interesting.

You see, the way I view Sevenforums the post right before yours is "2560 x 1600 Monitors why are they so expensive."

My apologies. LOL. I didn't realize some have other threads in their list.

I have the SAME ISSUES this user listed in this thread: USB Floppy Drive not working in Win7 Ultimate x64

I have the same model floppy drive. He solved his, yet I have 1.44 HD discs and they keep needing to be formatted.

Pic of drive is attached. I have Windows Home x64.

My device manager sees the device under Floppy Drives. It shows under my computer. It tries to read the discs but said they need formatted. I can't format them since I will lose the information, pics that I purchased this for to burn them to a CDR and eventually an External HDD.
On some discs, that I knew information would be okay to lose, I chose to format, It stated it was not able to.
I'm at a loss. When I bought this, it said it would work with Windows 7, now I'm not so sure.

Any other information needed let me know. I put all my specs when registered.

Is the information on the floppy NTSF?
Did you install the drivers?

Yes. It installed plug and play, but i used the CD that came with it to install correct drivers,
The pic is bottom of floppy drive.
I've tried HD 1.44 diskettes and the 720KB ones.
I saw on a post where the user had same problems, they were fixed when he used 1.44mb disks. That's basically all I have my saved data on.

TRy plugging the drive into a different USB port. If that doesn't work, if you know someone with a PC running Win 7 try the floppy drive in their PC. You shouldn't need to install any drivers in a Win 7 PC!
