I have 650+ dorm computers running W2K and only one had a floppy problem,
which turned out to be the motherboard.

You've already checked the BIOS and the floppy is enabled....I give.  But I
don't have any problems with my machines so I wouldn't think it would be a
problem with the OS.

Subject: FDD and Win2K Problem


> 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.
