Procedure
the drive to ensure that it is properly attached.
The computer's software or hardware
configuration may be causing a problem - ensure
that these configurations match your
requirements (refer to any relevant
documentation, for example that supplied with
any software in use, for further information).
Try another floppy diskette in the drive - if you are
able to access this disk then it indicates the
original disk and not the drive is probably causing
the problem.
If you are still unable to resolve the problem,
contact your reseller, dealer or service provider.
Procedure
Remove the ExpressCard from the computer and
then re-insert it in order to ensure it is firmly
connected.
In the event that the ExpressCard is attached to
an external peripheral device, ensure that this
connection is properly made.
If the problem persists, then you should refer to
the documentation supplied with your
ExpressCard for further information.
If you are still unable to resolve the problem,
contact your reseller, dealer or service provider.
