2 floppy disc drives?

by supz . Updated 23 years, 1 month ago

Hello. I recently added a second floppy disc drive to my 500 mhz cpu. when booting the system I am recieving an error “DISC DRIVE ERROR 40” or something very similar to this. I turned notifications off in bios to avoid that annoyance. I changed BIOSthen to see that the secondary on the floppy IDE was a 1.44 mb floppy drive, the same as the primary. Still, that same damn error came up. That was the point where I turned the notifications off and booted into windows where it then saw the new floppy drive and assigned it drive B in addition to drive A which was the old floppy. Yet the green lights on them are on 24/7 and they wont read discs now. Any ideas what is wrong? is the floppy drive I added broken possibly? Ive tried almost everything. Thanks a lot.
