Floppy light stays on and won’t read

by bob . Updated 22 years, 2 months ago

Newly built system.
Everything seems to be working fine.
It has an intel 875PEBZ board, which supports SATA RAID under Windows XP.
RAID enabled in bios, entered setup, pressed cntrl + I to load RAID drivers, pressed “S” when prompted, but the system cannot read the disc.
The floppy light stays on. I know that this is usually the result of a reversed ribbon cable, but I am using the round style cables that cannot be reversed. Tried a regular ribbon cable, still same thing.
I looked in BIOS for floppy configuration, but unless I am missing something, all this does is to enable or disable the disc controller and diskette write protect. It sees floppy A as 1.44MB 3 1/2 inches.
Can someone tell me what I am missing and how to amend this situation?
