Silly me, that was exactly the case. I forgot to connect an hdd. now the floppy drive is recognized but they seemed to be all faulty (they are from the junk and they are more then 25 y.o.) I've tried them with old 1.44 diskettes (not the ones with the software that I want to copy) inserting most...

First, let me give some background. I have quite an old software on 3 x 1.44 floppy diskettes that I want to copy to a cd rom or a flash drive. I've managed to find an old pc with an Asus P5GZ-MX motherboard. I've connected to it a 1.44MB floppy drive with it's flat cable and I keep on getting...

Thanx, I've followed the link provided by you and after looking into it it possible this is the reason: "Note: Only 64-bit operating systems support more than 3GB of system memory (RAM)."

I have an old Lenovo N500 laptop. it came with 2GB RAM but I wanted to increase that to 4GB by adding another 2GB stick. I've inserted it but unfortunately it's not recognized by the laptop. The original ram stick is : 40Y8404 and from what I've found it's chip description (from DMS website)...

You're right. beside the practical side I wanted to learn if it can be fixed.

I've tried Rufus, didn't.

Yes.

I've tried DISKPART but not with the command you've offered, I'll try that.
