floppy drive will not read in 98

by McKayTech In reply to floppy drive will not rea ...

It could be a couple of things. It could be a BIOS issue, a controller issue or an IRQ, address or DMA conflict.

I guess I would first look at Device Manager and see if there are any resource conflicts.

Then I would look at the BIOS setup tosee if anything wierd like drive swapping is enabled.

Then I would try swapping out the controller - if it's embedded in the motherboard, you'll have to disable it in the BIOS and use a multi-I/O card with everything disabled except the FDC.I've only seen this once and it turned out to be a problem with the FDC controller embedded on the motherboard.

Best wishes....
