I think i blew it this time. here goes.I bought a floppy drive used at a
computer show.I am rather stupid so i thought i needed a card to hook to so
i bought a card marked ide card used. Now i put the card in an isa slot and
the floppy in a bay. then i hooked the floppy to the card and the power .
Nothing, so now i realize i do not need the card so took it out and hooked
this floppy to the ribbon from the A drive. Next i went to the bios and
enabled B drive .Still nothing but now i realize i can not even read A
drive. Next i took out the B drive floppy and set it all back to original.
Still no A drive , it says it is unable to read Adrive. Did i ruin the A
drive? I really need help as i would like to at least get A drive working
and really would love to have both working. If i learn from my mistakes i
should soon be very smart!!! I am a novice and am try to all my own work
with the help of this group.
