The SCSI ID may be
invalid.
The SCSI chain is not
terminated.
The device cables are
not installed correctly.
The diskette drive is not recognized by the system.
Probable Cause
The diskette drive

incorrectly.
The drive cables are
not connected
properly.
The drive controller is
not seated properly.
Solution
From the Control Panel window (Start |
Settings | Control Panel), double-click Add

experienced with this procedure, call
Technical Support.
Assign an available SCSI ID to the device.

chain is terminated.
Open the system and check all cables
between the controller and the device.
Solution
Restart your computer, and then press F1
