6. Is the diskette damaged? Use your backup copy of the

diskette and repeat the operation that caused the problem.

If the operation works using the copy, the original diskette

is probably damaged. Discard it and use the copy.

If you need to save the files on the original diskette, try using

the MS-DOS COPY command to copy one file at a time.

7. Try formatting a blank diskette to determine if the diskette

drive is operating properly. If you cannot format a diskette,

see the following section.

If you are having problems with an external diskette drive,

check the following:

1. Is the external diskette drive connected properly? Remove

any diskette from the drive and turn off the computer.

Make sure the connector is inserted firmly into the EXT KB

and PRINTER port, and that the retaining screws are

tightened to secure the connection. See Chapter 1 for

instructions.

2. Are you using the Epson external diskette drive? Other drives

may not work with your system.

3. Is your computer set to recognize the external diskette drive?

Run SETUP as described in Chapter 2 to make sure the

Parallel option is set to 1.44MB, 3.5".

If the drive does not seem to be working as it should, try

performing a similar operation with a diskette in another

computer’s drive, if you have access to one. The problem

may be with the diskette.
