Subject: [PCBUILD] Access Denied, External Floppy Disk Drive On IBM Laptop
> I have an IBM ThinkPad (running Windows 98SE) which uses an external 3
1/2" floppy disc drive, (uses a USB cable to connect to the ThinkPad). I
have the drive installed and it shows up in Device Manager as working OK and
no conflicts. It also shows up in My Computer as the "A" drive.
>
> When I place a blank disk in the drive, with write protect tab open, and
try to copy data to the disk, I get an error message saying "Access denied.
Make sure disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not
currently in use".
>
> This laptop was originally used by a major corporation, so could there be
some kind of "leftover" administrative lock on using this drive or??
>
> Would appreciate any kind of help anyone can suggest.
