Asus P3B-F not recognizing floppy

[lupin]

Somehow my P3B-F is reporting that the floppy disk failed.

It was working fine, and the only thing that I changed was the BIOS setting. I reset the bios to setup values. No changes were done to the hardware whatsoever.

I tried setting 3.5" 1.44MB to A:, to B:, or try the swap A&B option on both settings, still couldn't get it to work. Bootup screen still says Floppy disk failed. Windows wasn't able to read from the floppy. If I try to explore the floppy drive, it says: "please enter a floppy disk"

I remember having the same problem when I was building the system, and I played around with those settings above, and finally got it to work. But I can't find the right setting this time.

Can anyone help me on this one??

Thanks.

Man you got it plugged in backwards. Either in the motherboard or the floppy disk itself. hehehehehehe Don't be ashamed it has happened to the best of us.

I've the same problem about one week ago. Just replace it with a new floppy drive. Not test if the old floppy drive bad or not. FYI.

It was working before, I change some BIOS settings, and now it's not working.

I did not touch the HARDWARE. How can I get it plugged backwards?

Is the error message saying something like floppy disk error 40? If so check to make sure you have the Pin 1 cable plug in correctly and then check to make sure you have Pin 1 plugged into the floppy correctly.

I had the same problem when I 1st built my system on the P3B-F platform, It was just a bad floppy cable which caused me quite a while of grief cause i never would've thought!
stupid floppy drives!!!
