  1. Windows 10 doesn't recognise USB drives or Disks


    Okay, so I input my USB drive; it doesn't detect any data and wants to reformat it, I decide to go ahead with it, but it simply says "windows can't format device E:". It does the same thing with my MSI drivers disk... Please help *Sad

    :)

  2. Floppy Drive support in Windows 10?

    It is possible to use a USB floppy disk drive in Windows 10. One "problem" is that Drive A: isn't displayed in File Explorer (see: Floppy-disk
    reader not recognised
    ). There is a workaround - a real kludge! - to this (see the reply from

    prestonpdx in: Support for non-USB Floppy Drives in Windows 10). The floppy will also perform
    correctly in a command prompt window or under DOSbox.

  3. Cannot play DVD on Windows 10

    I recently bought a new laptop. It doesn't have a disk drive so I have to use a portable disk drive and plug it into a USB connection. When I want to play DVDs through the disk drive the computer will recognise the drive but I cannot actually play the DVD.
    Do I have to download an app from the windows app store? If so which one is best?

    Windows 10 doesn't recognise USB drives or Disks

    Sometimes my USB drives won't detect. Make sure they are showing in Device Manager and Disk Manager. It should be just a generic USB driver and it should be included in Windows 10.

    Plug in your Drive and reboot the system, then check for a device wizard as it starts up. If the drive uses proprietary drivers make sure you have then downloaded. I have one WD MyBook/2TB and one WD 1TB Drive attached via USB, plus a DVD Burner in an external case. They all detect, but sometimes they take a while. Also sometimes USB Printers can stall you on Boot, I keep them unplugged until booted and all other devices are found. My main Printer is on an LPT Port, so I don't have that problem with that printer. But other printers stall me on Bootup. And your USB ports might be bad, check all of them. I have 8 USB ports plus a powered USB Hub, you will probably need a powered Hub to run those drives.
