You may have the cable installed right at the floppy but reversed at the MB!<br />
<br />
Have occassionally found cables that were mis-assembled.<br />
<br />
Does drive seek at boot? Is drive busy light on at all times? Is *POWER CABLE* connected?<br />
<br />
Is FDC enabled in BIOS?<br />
<br />
Is Floppy type set correct in BIOS?<br />

I installed a hard drive and floppy drive into a 233 mhz computer.Both were previously installed in another computer and all files were left on the hard drive.I can't get the floppy drive to work.Checking ribbon cable connections show it is hooked up properly.Device manager shows it is working also but when you try to access the drive it does nothing for several minutes and then a box pops up saying drive not ready.This same drive was working in the computer I removed it from.I am stuck.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
