Q Hard Drive advise

I have recently bought a usb hard drive from ebay, but it has a floppy disk to assist with the setup but I do not have a floopy slot on my pc. any ideas how I can set this up as my pc cannot set it up automatically thanks

Answer #1

I would think that the usb device would be plug and play. Meaning you dont need to install anything. I know many flash drives and other devices are plug and play yet they come with additional software to have features. Try plugging your usb device in, wait 10 - 15 seconds and see if anything comes up. If not then I guess you could use a school computer or a friends computer or any that has a floppy drive, put contents of floppy onto said computer then email it back or burn on cd or something.

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!       Welcome to Fun Advice!

  My advice, assuming you have a CD or CD/DVD slot on your PC, is to go to a friend or a computer store and get them to copy the floppy disk on to a CD. Then you could use it in place of the floppy disk.
