Everytime I try to write to the A drive I get an error message saying it won't work. Sometimes the computer completely crashes. I'm running Win98 the floppy drive is less than three months old and I'm pretty sure all the leads are attatched properly. Any Ideas? Cheers
This has happened to me a lot recently. It's probably not the drive, but the disks you use. Recently many of my disks are going bad. I suspect it's the dreaded force known as magnatism! But I can't quite figure out where its coming from.
Your PC speaker can cause this, but I doubt it is the culpret.

Well, kindly check the disk drive cables inside your CPU whether or not it's alternately installed. Secondly, also check you BIOS configuration if it's configured same as the floppy disk size (eg.: Floppy Drive A: 1.44 MB).

I just replaced a case and now when I try to boot the computer I get no power to 3 of the 4 drives. The motherboard does not post either. But when I put the floppy cable on backwards the system boots just fine I just get a floppy error. I have tried different drives and cables. Each one works on a different computer but not on the one i need it to work on. I an at a loss

I currently have the same problem. I can get it to start writing, but it seems to be having trouble reading. Someone suggested reformating the disk, but I have my suspicions this won't work. I thinks something is wrong with the floppy controller. Someone also suggested bad cable, but I don't think so.

Pentium 200 MMX - HDD FDD and CDROM connects are on the motherboard, not on an IDE card. Problem: It reads my floopy A: at bootup, but at the point (if I were to leave the floppy in the drive to boot from) where it seeks a bootup device (A: or C:), it bypasses the floppy (doesn't seek A: at all) all together and continues to load C:.
I've been in CMOS and have only A: setup as a 1.44, but it still doesn't detect it. I've reset to both BIOS and then SYSTEM Defaults in CMOS, rebooted and still..it only blinks, makes a noise at bootup, not when sensing for a bootup drive.
Please help me, as I'm at a loss here. Been working on this for 2 days now. What happened? I tried to upgrade to Win98. At the 12 minute mark from finishing it's installation..it froze! And everytime I reboot, it goes straight to the installation and freezes at the 12 minute mark all over again. I can't bypass with CTRL-C or X and I have no A: drive to boot from now so as to bypass the installation process.
Please help
tNX!
