Sony PCG-NV200 - Manual (Page 106)

Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't the Safety Remove Hardware icon appear on the taskbar when the drive is inserted?
The computer does not recognize the floppy disk drive. Make sure the floppy disk drive was properly inserted into the
multipurpose bay. See
Installing a device for more information.
Why is the drive unable to write data to a floppy disk?
The floppy disk drive cannot write data to a disk if it is inserted into the drive improperly. See Inserting and removing floppy
disks for instructions on how to insert the disk properly.
If the disk is inserted properly and you are still unable to write data to it, the disk may be write-protected. You can either
use a floppy disk that is not write-protected or disable the write-protect feature.
