Pc-Check Windows Floppy Drive Media Change Test Failure Information

Group Number 330X

Device Floppy Drives

This is a test group for removable media floppy drives. Floppy drives read from, and write to, a removable 'floppy disk' which is a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular carrier. Though largely obsolete they are still used in legacy and specialist equipment."

NOTE: Floppy disks can degrade in performance after multiple uses: change the media regularly.

NOTE: To acquire device information on floppy drive media, the floppy disk must be present in the drive on initialisation.

NOTE: USB Floppy drives are not supported on Windows Vista® and above and should not be used.
