Can't see floppy disk?

[Obi_Kwiet]

Hey, I'm havieng a problem with my floppy drive. Or really not the drive because I get the same error when I switch out the drive or the cable. The system sees the drive but won't recognize any disk I put in weather in the BIOS or in windows. I need to update my BIOS but I can't. What the heck is going on??

Is the cable on the right way? Not sure if it would show up in Windows or not with the cable on the wrong way.

yep... I really hope the controller isn't bad.

I realy need a reply... If anyone has an idea, please give me some feedback. I have to give this to someone on sunday.

If you already switch out the floppy drive and cable and also changed the direction of the cable then yes it probably is a bad floppy controller.

Although it could be you have the floppy drive disabled in the bios too.

Nope it's not disabled. I figured it was the controller, but I really don't want to have to RMA it. Crap.
