My problem is that I cannot get the Aero to properly recognize the drive. If the drive is plugged in when I boot the computer, I can use the drive fine. The PCMCIA configuration window in Windows, however, will report that the card is "not configured." If I try to plug the drive in after the computer is already booted, it will not let me use the drive at all. I have the latest SOFTPAQ (version 1.45, rev. A) and PCMCIA drivers (version 1.25, rev. A). Also, my X-Jack modem seems to operate fine in the PCMCIA slot. Any suggestions on how to get the floppy up and running? Any help would be greatly appreciated! [A] If you are using MS-DOS or Windows 3.1x, the easiest way to fix the problem is to get the very original CONFIG.SYS of Aero which is well configured to work with the drive. Note: see FAQ sections on the config.sys file [A] Try removing some of your third party software (non-Compaq stuff). Sometimes these packages futz with the floppy drive, like for instance Colorado Backup. [A] Look in the sections of the FAQ on specific operating systems for more detailed information on this, and related floppy woes.
