Old Parts, New Case

I transfer my old parts from an old case into a new one so I can sell it on Ebay.. and for some reason everything works but the Floppy, Everytime I put in my bootdisk or any floppy disk it will either not read anything or give me an error like I/O Disk Error. I tried switching the IDE Cables but then My computers Monitor will show nothing and the power button would turn the computer on but not off... Any Ideas? Thanks
 
Maybe the floppy's ribbon cable is plugged in upside down? If its LED light stays lit all the time, that's the problem, and you can just shut down, flip the ribbon cable's plug over, and plug it back in.
 
Yeah I came across that problem, When the LED light is on all the time, it doesn't even read a disk, when I flipped it, and now every time I put in a disk it says I/O Disk Error
 
Have you made sure that the floppy cable is attached not only in the right direction (end to end) but that each connector is its right way up?
 
How many connectors are on the floppy cable? I couldn't get my floppy to work unless I connected it to the very last connector, or maybe the cable is bad.
 
When you installed the floppy make sure you didnt over tighten the screws and try blowing out the inside of the drive with compressed air.
 
Make sure the end of the cable with the twisted ribbon is connected to the floppy. An LED on at all times means the cable is connected incorrectly.
