Floppy Drive Error

Name: Anonymous 2005-11-22 16:12

Ok so I recently installed a floppy drive on my desktop computer I had no use for one until now. It's and NEC black one...the standard stuff.

Well I plug it in correctly and the power to it. I booted up my computer and enabled the floppy drive in the BIOS and what not all that normal stuff. Booted into windows...and....there is the A: yipee! I put a disk in annnnddd....no disk inserted? WTF DO YOU MEAN?

I reboot after using the Hardware Manager to make sure it was enabled, and I noticed during the boot screen. For just a few seconds after the memory test I see this error: Secondary IDE channel no 80 conducter cable installed?

Something like that...I might have mixed the 80 up with IDE though. So I googled it...and have yet to come up with an actual solution.

The motherboard is a ASUS A7NX, and I have installed (before the floppy drive) a CDRW , and DVDRW drive along with two hard drives..is there a conflicting issues with how I have those drives installed? Please Help 4chan!

I tried the floppy in another computer and it worked. I also tried some other floppys like you suggested and none of them did...hmm..

well this sucks!
