How do you put pictures from a camera that uses floppy disks onto a computer?
Usually, you will just need to insert the floppies into the floppy disk drive on a computer. If your computer does not have a floppy drive (most made since 2003 don't), you will need to purchase an external floppy drive. These connect to your computer through a USB port. After you plug it in and insert a disk, you should be able to find the drive and view your pictures.
Can you insert floppy diskette into the disk drive?
-no because the inner dick will not be able to spin up to speed for the disk to read it -the best way is to find an older computer and convert all the files from the floppy disks to a normal CD-rom type disk
How do you save in cave story?
Find a Floppy Disk.
Does a floppy disk drive use laser beam to read and wright?
No. A laser is not used to read or right to a floppy disk.The laser is usedto read and right data to an optical disk such as a dvd or cd. The floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium. A read right head is basically a small coil. When a current is passed thru the read/right head, itgenerates a magnetic field which aligns the small particles on the floppy disk in one of two directions. the direction of the particle indicates a 1 or 0which is the essence of data on a computer. to find out more details of the construction of a floppy disk and how data is saved, google floppy disk.
Can you replace the disk drive on an ensoniq asrx pro?
If you go to chickensys dot com they have a zip drive kit that you can install for $99. I have not been able to find a regular floppy drive tho.
When was the floppy disk intoduced?
The original floppy was an 8 inch, single sided disk first developed in the late 1960's as a result of research efforts by IBM. The first floppy disk drive systems became commercially available in 1971. They cost more than a new PC costs today.The floppy disk was introduced in the 1970's, and it revolutionized data storage in the PC. It ran strongly for some time, but faded in the 1990's. It is rare to see a working machine being used in this day and age with a floppy drive in it. Wikipedia has more information, and you'll find a link to their post just down the page below this answer.1971According to wikipedia; IBM introduced 8-inch floppy disk (read-only) in 1971...
Can you spread computer viruses through floppy disks?
If you find a computer with a floppy disk port, then yes.
Differences between a floppy disk and a hard disk?
A floppy disk is a flexible and magnetic data storage system that is removable from the computer that can store up to 3 megabytes of data. A hard disk on the other hand is the main place that a computer stores data. It is a rotating disk that uses magnetic patterns to store data. Floppy disks have been replaced by USB flash drives.These days (2012) you will not find many floppy disks (although just a couple of years ago we had to order special floppy drives for a server because some software would only be installed if it booted from Drive: A a floppy). There were 8 inch and 5 inch and 31/2 inch floppy disks which were common. The latest (diskettes) were the smallest and were protected by a hard plastic casing. Inside a thin Mylar disk coated with a magnetic surface stored the 1.44 Mb that was the capacity of most diskettes. Hard disks have one or more aluminium or glass disks coated with magnetic surfaces. These hold much more information and now (2012) there are units that can store 3Tb or more.
Where do you find an operating system that can be installed by booting from a regular 3.5 floppy disk and then use the LAN to download the rest from the internet connection?
This is no longer a common feature for any modern operating system. Debian Etch and prior allowed starting a net install from a floppy disk, but the kernel is too large in recent releases for this to be possible.
What is the functions of floppy drive?
Answer--In the purest sense, the function of a floppy disk drive is to provide a means of writing/reading data on/from floppy disks in an industry standardized method. Floppy Disks were invented as an improved means for storing/transporting data on/from computers. The universality and standardization of disk storage technologies was important to the personal computer industry. By standardizing these complex technologies, computer manufacturers were able to, over time, inexpensively source drives and disks, thus reducing the cost of the computer systems. This made PC's more affordable for everyone.Ok, lets say you type something up in a word processor want to save it, but not directly on the computer. You can buy 3 1/2 floppy disks (you can find them in most kind of computer/department store - assuming it has an electronics department). You put this disk into the floppy drive and then click 'save as' on your document [click on FILE on the top left-hand corner]. You bring down the top box (you click it, and there'll be a list of places on your computer - eg; 'Desktop', 'My Folder' etc). Near or underneath 'My Computer' in that box, click 'Floppy Drive A' or whichever icon has a little picture of a floppy disk on it, and it will load up the disk you put in it. You then hit save, and you're done!If you want to open up a file on a floppy disk, you put it in, click on 'My Computer', look for the icon with the Floppy Disk on it, double click, and there should be your file - ready and waiting.ANOTHER ANSWERTo add to that, since then, floopy drives have been replaced by flashdrives. IN some cases a CD replaced the floopy disk.
Where do you position the CD-ROM driver after formatting the hard drive of an old Windows 95 computer?
The simple answer is just use a Win98 boot-up floppy disk instead of a Win95 boot disk. I searched Google to find this answer to my own question.
