Does your black ribbon roll and never stops?

You probanly installed it wrong. Most T/W's spooled ribbons wind to the outside of the spool, however there were a few that wind to the inside. Withe the ribbon off type & watch the spool mech. install the ribbon so that it will wind onto the spool.

you may have not properly set the jumpers on your new installed hard drive.

usually a computer will have 2 eide drive controllers where you would connect a ribbon cable. a ribbon cable has a middle connector and end connector and obviously another end connector that connects to the motherboard)
now you can connect upto to devices to that ribbon cable. most computers will have one device connected to the end connector (the hard drive) and no devices connected to the middle connector or sometimes they may have 2 device on the same cable: the hard drive on the end and a cd/dvd drive on the middle. others computers may have one ribbon cable for each device as computers usually come with 2 drive controllers (so you can connect 2 cables which means a total of upto 4 eide devices)

now, when you connect devices on 1 ribbon cable, the end device is the master device, the one the middle is the slave. to make a device a master or a slave you need to set a jumper. the jumper is usually located in between the ribbon cable connector and the power connector, the legend to know where the jumper goes to make it a slave or a master is usually on the label of the hard drive. you may need to check that label and with some pliers make the proper setting for that jumper.

on a new hd usually the jumper setting will be in master. so if you connected the hard drive on a ribbon cable that already has a master at the end it may not be detected. try to connect that master device on another ribbon cable that has no other devices connected and connect it on the end connector (not the middle one). if you have no other option but to connect it in the middle already having a master device at the end, set the jumper to on the slave position.

while you are at it. make sure you have your power connector and data (ribbon) cable properly seated.

if the caviar hd your are trying to install is an old hd and you know that you have the proper hd configuration and the cables properly seated, it is possible that no detection means hd failure.

Really? An Underwood typewriter?
First, do you have a replacement ribbon that is not dried out? Does the ribbon come on one spool or two?
If the typewriter already has a ribbon installed, it is a simple matter of noting the path the current ribbon follows, and which way the ribbon winds onto the spools. Then install the new ribbon following exactly the same threading path. If there is not already a ribbon installed, then it is a little more complicated, and it will depend on your spatial relationship visualization skills.

1. Type a few letters on the typewriter, and take note of which way the spools turn.
2. Mount the two new spools containing the new ribbon so that the full spool will supply (unwind), and the empty spool will take-up (wind) the ribbon.
3. Thread the ribbon through all of the guides in the threading path - there are probably about 6-8 guides that the ribbon has to go through. The most important guides are the ones that carry the ribbon in front of the typeface elements as they strike the paper. But equally important are the guides that monitor the tension of the ribbon - they will cause the spool advance mechanism to reverse the ribbon take-up direction when the ribbon reaches the end of travel.

you can change which ribbon type is installed in the printing preferences of the printer driver.
make sure you have the right ribbon type selected.
CYMTKO vs. CYMTO, etc.

There is also a button that will auto detect the ribbon right underneath the pulldown menu.

ribbon cut again and again after put 2 or 3 cards pls give instruction how to solve the problem.

I assume this is a wheelwriter. If so push the blue lever on the rt. side of the ribbon to the rear and lift the ribbon and lift off out of the machine, seperate the ribbon and L/O. Attach L/O to the new ribbon, insert the two "feet" on the ribbon casstte into the slots on the ribbon deck and snap it into place.

Take apart computer
Look at the cable connecting the existing dvd/cdwriter in your computer, and follow the ribbon until you see a similar looking cable
Consult the PC manual to find out the # of pins you need to change and their position
Connect the new internal drive to the second ribbon
Reassemble your computer

Best to consult your product manuals for the PC, your BIOS, and the internal CD/dvd writer, and/or a techy-geeky friend.

open the black cover of your ribbon storage..remove the soiled ribbon. locate the origin of the ribbon( do not pull the ribbon hard as if you don't mess the arrangement) follow the pattern that has an outer pathway located beside to your original hook of the ribbon then pull the ribbon out gently (just follow the arrows that is indicated on the case)
