Troubleshooting drives, PC cards and peripheral devices

I inserted a compatible device into the multipurpose drive bay, but the icon
does not appear in the My Computer window.

The device has not been recognized. Put the notebook into System Idle mode
by pressing the Fn and S keys and then resume.

If the device is still not recognized or does not appear in the My Computer
window, remove and reinsert it.

My floppy disk drive can not write to a diskette.

If the diskette is write-protected, disable the write-protect feature or use a
diskette that is not write-protected.

Check that the diskette is properly inserted into the floppy disk drive.

My CD or DVD drive is not playing my CD or DVD properly.

Make sure the optical drive is inserted correctly into the multipurpose bay.

Make sure the label of the disc is facing up.
