I should have made it clear...the system will boot to a windows cd, but the floppy doesn't work. It tries to access the floppy, but doesn't work! The error message I get when I try to boot from the floppy is: "reboot and select proper boot" Even though I know this boot disk works on all other...

Asus p5ad2-e premium motherboard. I have now tried 2 of these same motherboards, 3 floppy drives, and 2 floppy cables. The boot disk will boot up in EVERY computer except for this one. It is important for me to have the floppy drive working because I need to load SATA/RAID drivers when...

Weird thing is...I can see the floppy drive trying to be accessed (light blinks and I can hear noises) when the proper time comes (i.e. to boot, or when Windows installation tries to access it for drivers)? That means both the power to the drive, ide cable, and bios settings are correct, right...

Tried another floppy cable...and it is plugged in correctly. Floppy enabled in BIOS, hmm...would that be on the page where it shows the floppy and IDE drives? And says what kind of a floppy drive it is? If so, it is listed as a regular 1.44MB floppy. Haven't touched it. Any other ideas?

I am building a server with an Asus P5AD2-E Premium Motherboard. I am trying to install the SATA/RAID drives in Windows 2003 for 4 Raptor 2 HDs with RAID 10 controller on the motherboard. Problem is, the floppy doesn't work. I have tried 2 floppy drives, both won't work. I have used a boot disk...

I actually didn't know the PSUs that shippsed with the Ahanix mini cases were cheapies. I probably should purchase seperate PSUs from now on, even if the case I buy comes with one. Thanks for the help montag.

How would low voltage be the issue if the computer works fine for months when they are using it...but when it is sitting there over the weekend with no user intervention, 2 of the 5 computers' power supplies "freeze"? With my thinking, I would say..."if the PSUs are dropping at the same time...

That's certainly a possibility...but get this...what would make 2 power supplies on different computers, stop working over the weekend (with no users accessing the computers, just sitting ON but IDLE). And then come Monday morning...the computers won't turn on. But, Monday afternoon, the...

Oh, and in case this helps..the systems are running on: Biostar M7VIG PRO AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 512MB RAM 40GB HD And as I stated earlier, L&C and ALLIED 200W PSU, which are both just rebranded DEER PSUs. They came with the "AHANIX" cases we bought. Won't do that again! But the ALLIED PSU...

I have a client who is having a hell of a time with the computers we built him. He has 5 micro/mini ATX computers in his office. I have had to replace 3 of the computer's power supplies, EACH TWICE NOW! Some of them die. Others, stop working in the morning, and in the afternoon when he tries to...
