Im able to boot from floppy at computers startup, but in Windows XP the controller shows a question mark next to it. So i changed the settings on it from auto configer and manualy configured it, now the question mark is gone but still no floppy? What is the problem I have a Compaq Presario Series 5000

Check your BIOS to see if the floppy is configured right in there.

The floppy is enabled in the bios, the bios on this machine doesnt allow you to do much.

What I meant was make sure it is set as a 1.44MB on drive A: drive B: disabled. And be sure the cable is installed correctly. The plug at the split end goes on the drive, th other end on the MB.
