floppy drive led stays on

sven556 · 03-24-2005, 06:02 PM

I upgraded to a new motherboard on my AMD 64 skt754 system and now the LED on the floppy drive is on all the time and it won't read any disks. I use a SATA hard drive so I can't install windows without first using the floppy drive to load the SATA drivers. I used this floppy drive about a month ago and it was fine. any idea?

Thanks,
Sven

sounds like you have your floppy drives cable upside down... flip er around.

Also are you running raid? I dont understand Y it is that you'd need to instal a driver for your sata drive unless it's a raid configuration. I've got a SATA HD and instal windows just fine b4 i instal my chipset drivers.

You can sometimes load off the CD drive
