How to connect a floppy disk on Windows 7

The evolution of information technology, we are constantly improving and has already long since replaced the old Floppy Disk, with new media more and more capacious and faster transfers (external hard drives, flash drive, CD/DVD rewritable or not, etc ..).

It can happen that someone is still in the possession of and need to recover the contents. Now, in a few simple steps, we will see how to proceed to connect a reader Floppy Disk on a Windows 7 Operating System.

1.) In trade, we find various media Floppy, we’re going to choose according to our needs. For a laptop we will have to buy an external USB access (which can also be used with all the other machines), while for a desktop computer, we can fit an inner (you will not see, and we will also save some money). Once evaluated which product we need (checking on which operating system will be installed) and after having bought it (at any retailer of computer science), we proceed to its installation.

2.) In the box of the new hardware, we will find for sure the connection cables and driver disks. In the case of USB connect to the computer and to the power outlet (if it is powered), to allow Windows 7 to be found drivers present in it (very often you just do this and in a few minutes and just working) instead if not recognized, insert the CD, start it and proceed to its installation. When finished, restart your computer to save and apply the changes that we have just made and then clicking on ” Start / Computer “, find our shelf hardware.

3.) If, instead it is a PC disk, the procedure remains the same for the software part, while for its connection will be necessary, open the side plate of the case, insert the component in the space, fixed tightly with the screws, to avoid that it can move, then, connect the power supply and serial cable (which starts from the motherboard and it is smaller than that of the hard disk and CD / DVD player), reassemble everything, start it and set it up correctly. In this way, so we hooked up our player and we will have the opportunity to use it to open and save to rewrite all those floppy we need.
