I have an Epox motherboard, P4 1.8, 256MB DDR Ram and Win2k.
I cannot get my FDD to work at all under Win2k. In fact i have tried 3 different drives, 5 different cables. I have tried the connectors up the right way and the wrong way. Windows just locks up and refuses to find a disk.
I have a friend with a totally different setup, but with Win2k, who has exactly the same problem.
I have uninstalled the floppy drive and the floppy drive controller, and then reinstalled them.
I have the onboard FDD controllert enabled in the BIOS. The boards are new, so the BIOS is up to date.

Any suggestions would be welcome
