  1. Floppy drive not showing in Explorer Device Manager or Disk Management


    The floppy disk controller shows in Device Manager, but not the drive. The BIOS sees the drive and the drive was chosen in the BIOS and the controller was turned on in the BIOS. I tried to install the floppy drive manually in Add Hardware, but there isn't a listing for it. Trying LEGACY doesn't work even if it's pointed at C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\flpydisk.inf_amd64_ffa2d7cec99f9b49 that folder contains flpydisk.inf, flpydisk.sys, and sfloppy.sys. Hidden drives are being shown. This is an older computer with a EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW motherboard and has the latest BIOS available installed. Group Policy has had the hide certain drives setting set to No.

  2. Windows 10 - Disk drive showing as floppy drive

    I installed Windows 10 this afternoon & have just found that i have a phantom floppy drive showing in My PC (My Computer) but not my disk drive.

    I went to device manager & the disk drive is there with all drivers installed, operating correctly. But there is also a phantom floppy disk drive installed.

    I have tried uninstalling both sets of drives & rebooting but no luck.

    Any suggestions?

    external hard drive showing up in device management but not disk management

    Hi,

    I recently tried to use a brand new Seagate 2TB External HD, but it is not showing up. It initially showed up, but after I tried reformatting it to exFAT32, it disappeared from the disk management list.

    I then tried:

    • refreshing the disk management list,
    • inserting into a different USB port,
    • re-starting my computer, and
    • uninstalling the device from device manager/letting it refresh,

    I still can't see it. There is no yellow error in the USB controller list.

    I'm on Windows 10.

    Intel i5-3317U @ 1.7GHz

    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Floppy drive not showing in Explorer Device Manager or Disk Management

    Computer without a floppy disk drive that indicates a floppy disk drive? :-(

    Hello all

    I have Lenovo Thinkcentre desktop computer with Windows 10 (build 1809) up to date!

    The computer works very well and does not have a floppy disk, never have and will never have because no port is provided on the motherboard for this!

    Yet in the "Device Manager", a driver error for the floppy drive appears (normal there is n ...) and the floppy disk icon appears in the workstation!

    Screenshot of the error

    I easily managed to delete the icon in the workstation from the registry, but I can not find how to disable this "floppy drive" in the device list !!

    Of course there is no option in the BIOS of the machine because (as I said before) no drive is provided on the motherboard.

    Does anyone have the trick to "erase" this device in the Windows 10 "Device Manager"?

    Thanks for your help

    A +
