Where is the drive icon? I cannot find it.

For Windows 10/11 users: In some cases, the drive icon may not appear in Windows File Explorer due to hidden options. To resolve this issue, navigate to "Devices and Printers" by following these steps: Start -> Settings -> Bluetooth & devices -> Devices -> “More devices and printer settings” under “Related settings”. Right-Click on the drive icon named "TEACV0.0", Hover cursor over "Browse files" and then click on “Floppy disk drive(A:)”, then you will see the content of your disks.

Why does Drive A show “A:\ is not accessible” when I try to open it?

A common cause of this issue is that the floppy disk is damaged or the read/write head of the floppy disk drive is impaired. If you are certain that the floppy disk is readable, then it is highly likely that the read/write head of the floppy disk drive is damaged, for example, it has been contaminated with excessive dust or stains.

Why does it still show the files from the 1st diskette when you insert 2nd diskette?

Please go to "more options" and choose the "refresh" in file explorer before it displays the new content. Or disk contents do refresh after double click the A: drive icon in File Explorer, then you can see the content from 2nd diskette.
