Ye Data Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

I have a YE Data YD-380B disk drive. I/O error is appeared when it try to read floppy. How can I solve this problem thanks mehrdad

Go to any computer-store, with your current floppy-drive,
and ask them to sell you a compatible replacement.

Or, browse through "Thrift Stores" for a "pre-owned" one.

Short answer, no you can't. Replacement floppy drive can be bought here: http://hometown.aol.com/mishon66/Drives1.html
