I posted in the software part about my problem with a CCTV system. I have not tried to use the A: drive in years but since we had a attempted break in, I tried to use it again. My system is Vista, no updates ever needed since it's only used for CCTV.
I can't change the A: drive to another larger like flash or CD.
Now when I try to send a snapshot photo from the CCTV system the prompt says can't read the the A:. It also says Cannot format the A: when I put in an old but new 3.5 floppy. I started useing the old Commodore 64 to 128 years ago so I'm slightly familiar with PCs having ben repairing them for 35 years. But my thing is hardware not software.
I can change out the floppy to a never used one but I'm still trying to learn when a system fails. I'm not a board changer, I repair motherboards and electronics circuits, but when failure happens I try to dig deeper not just swap it out.
The system is Vista, 512m, 80 g HD. 2.53 cpu, CD and DVD and Floppy A:.
the only thing I noticed is when the floppy write error come up, in the window the only option is format option is FAT.
I can pull a photo once I copy the CCTV video to another program and copy/paste a snapshot outside the original software program. I'm trying to save time.
