Hi Sherry; How about getting a friend to make the transfer for you. Find someone that still uses disks or has the drive. If you work, your computer department should be able to do it for you. Good luck. Terry Powers

I can't see buying a disc drive to use it once to authorize duxbury. oh well. thanks for the information.

If you are using SuperDisk Drive, it won't work since Windows XP does not support it. A good solution is to purchase a USB floppy disk drive. This drive connects to the computer and it shows itself as Drive A:. I'm sure it can also work with mPower (if you have BrailleNote mPower). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sherry Gomes Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 7:38 AM To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: [Braillenote] disc drive question Hi all, I tried sending this yesterday but never saw it come through the list. Seems that when I initiate a message, instead of doing a reply and changing the subject line, my messages don't make it to the list. anyway, I have a question about the disc drive. I hope that's an ok topic here, even though it involves the drive with my PC. my new computer doesn't have a floppy disc drive. I tried to install my copy of duxbury yesterday and realized it uses the old floppy authorization system. My computer has a built in card reader. Do you think I can plug the disc drive into my PC in one of the card slots, and use it that way to license duxbury? I am lost without my braille translation program. and yes, though I transfer most of my web braille or bookshare books to my mPower, I do occasionally open the books and translate them into text to have jaws read to me from the PC while I'm doing other things at home.
