I have a Win 2000 system with sp4. I used to be able to use a Torica USB drive (just an external case for laptop hard drive). Recently I tried to use it and when I plug it in it gives a message "Please insert a floppy disk labeled %disk% into the drive A". The drive is nativly supported, I had to load no drivers from floppy when I got it working in the past. No apparent change since it worked last, except for Windows updates. Too many of them to try to track the possible bad one down.
Any ideas???

Thanks,
David

uninstall it, unplug it, and plug it back in. If there are native drivers it may be found again.
Another problem may be HW itsef, like the chipset cant be read properly by the system.

There is no place to uninstall it. It does not show up in Add/Remove Programs. How can I uninstall it?
Thanks,
David

Do you remember what was the last windows update before it started giving problems. If so, uninstall that update. Reconfigure the Device again.

Ok, This si not a program it is a device driver. It will not be found in add/remove programs.
right click on "My Computer"
select "Properties"
Select the "Hardware" Tab
Select "Device Manager"
Find the device in the list and uninstall it.
Unplug the device and scan for changes.
Plug the device back in and scan for changes

If it still doesnt work try upgrading the USB drivers
