Running win 7ultimate x64 installed from MS disc, slic bios activated. Problem I have is every time I put a zip drive in with files on it I get a message saying there is a problem with the drive and wanting to know if I want to attempt to fix it or attempt to use it as is. Does anyone else have this issue? I have several zip drives and it always asks. Yes my pute is USB 2.0. I can read and write files to the drives fine after selecting use as is. BTW some are formated FAT32 and others NTFS. I am also using a zip drive for readyboost.
I'd say it's a compatibility issue. Got the latest drivers for the devices ? Also check the properties in device manager.
you mean zip drive like IOmega zip drives? People still use those? You might need to use a VM the hardware might be too old.
Only problem in the device manager was a printer issue, I reinstalled driver in XPsp3 mode and that was resolved. Prolly should of used the term thumb drive instead of Zip drive, LOL. I am still clueless as to why this is happening, its just an aggravation, not a real problem. Just a thought.... I dual boot with XP and it recognizes them when I plug them in AND I think I have write cache enabled on them in XP, would that cause this issue??
Like I said earlier : check the device properties in device manager. Not sure if it'll solve your issue, but you definitely should have write cache enabled.
