Hi

I have a problem with 3 Epox 8K7A, some time when i boot the computers i have a floppy fail's error in the bios. If a press F1 the computer continue to start and the floppy is ok in windows. But each time a re-boot the computer the same error come up.

If i enter in bios and just press F10 and i save, the problem is temporaly resolved.

I upgrade the bios whit the last version.... but it make no difference.

Thx for advance

the computers have this problem is : Athlon, Epox 8K7A, GeForce2 MX, 256DDR generic, HD Maxtor 20 or 30gig 7200Rpm, CD-Rom 52X sony or DVD-Rom Pionner 16X, Floppy Panasonic, Sound Blaster PCI128 or Live Platinium, Modem Aopen and Ethernet Card Dlink DFE538-TX/R

Try switching the floppy cable. Mine did the same thing, but I got to checking and the floppy cable was bad. I just replaced it, and my wywtem has been fine ever since.
