Floppy drive failed (40) Error on startup

by dhuber1 . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

I was replaced a couple of optical drives on an older computer and now I get this error message upon boot-up, “Floppy drive failed (40) Error on startup” Once I got it to show up in the device manager and it gave an error code of 31 which is it needs another device/connection to run but I have no idea what it wants. I have tried four different floppy drives and two different cables but still get the same result. It worked fine before so I don’t understand. Have also checked the BIOS to make sure the drive was set correctly but no change. Thanks for any help you can give.
