So I've done this in every possible combination and permutation. I do eventually lose my keyboard and mouse, and this is immediate if I start from the bottom, which is Data Root Hub (3.0). But if I start from the other side I can delete more devices before losing the keyboard and mouse. With...

So it turns out the problem is that the CLP-156 is old (1994), and formats the floppy disks as 2DD disks. In this case, the disks were actually 2HD disks, so the computer (correctly recognizing them as 2HD disks) thought they weren't formatted. Covering the shutters at the top right of the disk...

I reinstalled Intel's Chipset drivers, since those appear to be what the above Unknown devices mostly are. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005533/software/chipset-software.html I shut off Bluetooth, just because so many of those unknown devices were Bluetooth, but...

Thank you for those suggestions Ralston18! I just ran those commands, and the outputs are below. Wow, that's a lot of unknown devices! The big self-regenerating pool of hidden unknown devices in the Device Manager appears to be Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF, and those are appearing underneath...

Outputs from sfc and dism: Reliability History > Monitor doesn't record anything of note when removing and inserting the drive. Neither does the event viewer, when using a custom view to show all errors and warnings. I'll add that when looking at the storage device in the Device Manager...

Hello everybody! Does anybody have experience copying files from old Yamaha Clavinova floppy disks? I have this huge collection of CLP-156 disks that I absolutely can't read. After trying about 30 of them, I did find one where I can see a directory listing. I see… CLP_01.MDA CLP_02.MDA...

The problem remains unchanged, despite my obsessing over it. I'll add that I've run system file checker without change. The next step is to reinstall Windows.

Well, I think it's evident my Windows 11 instance has a problem that others don't… this is why I'm asking the question. You seem to be stating that the difficulty is as a consequence of the fact that the same hardware is used to run an instance of Linux. I don't understand either why this would...

Can you please elaborate?

Thank you for your response. The USB sticks themselves are all formatted FAT or exFAT, and read fine in both other Windows 11 systems and Ubuntu Linux systems. Are you implying that, while booted into Linux, I'm somehow altering the behavior of the USB controller in such a way that, when booted...

Over the last few days, I've noticed I'm unable to mount USB sticks. This seems to be generalized to all USB mass storage devices (card readers, external hard drives) and all USB ports. The USB ports do still work, and my keyboard and mouse work fine, my YubiKey, game controllers, etc. This...

Setting up the Disklavier to feed a MIDI out and audio out to a computer, save the result, and then feed it back onto a floppy emulator like the GoTek / Nalbantov is a viable solution. Not a particularly elegant one, but a viable one! (The Nalbantov software appears to use HxC for putting songs...

Other than the SCP files / Greaseweasel scans, I wasn't able to get any software to acknowledge the disks. I can convert those SCP files to other files types using the Greaseweasel tools (IMG, IMA, HFE, etc), but I don't really know what the proper format is (apart from IBM of some type). I...

I have a large collection of old floppy disks used in a Yamaha Disklavier MX100II. These floppy disks store MIDI files (which the piano plays) and sometimes music files (typically WAV format) that are played out the speakers. I've had good luck with probably 60% of these disks using a handful of...
