Asus P4C800 E-Deluxe cannot read floppy disk?

[baldyguy]

Hello everyone,

I have just installed an Asus P4C800 E-Deluxe Mobo, everything seems to work great except for my new floppy drive. For some reason when I pop the floppy disk into my floppy drive, the floppy drive light comes on but it cannot read the disk and keeps saying "Please insert Floppy disk" as if the floppy wasn't inserted. Im using a rounded floppy cable and used both ends of them and still has the same "Please insert Floppy disk" message. Does anyone have any ideas? I have also tested this out on another floppy drive and still have the same errors. Oh yeah I'm running Windows XP pro.

I'd say bad cable, or cable plugged in backwards/wrong. If you flip the end of the cable the wrong way it won't work. Also, if there is more than one connector on the cable you must use the one after the twist in the cable (should be last connector) to plug in the A drive.
