For unknown reasons I cannot access my A drive. I get the message that "A
drive is not ready". I have a disk in it, but it will not display. It
isn't the drive because I bought a new one and had the same problem. I
bought a new cable and that didn't help. It shows up as working in device
manager in Windows and in safe mode. The BIOS displays it during the boot.
I checked to make sure the cable was pin 1 to pin 1. If it were the cable
or the connection the BIOS would show "drive failure". The only thing I can
think of now is that the mobo connector died, but I would think that would
give me a message "drive failure" during the boot. If it isn't the drive or
the cable or the connection, or the mobo, what is left to check? Any ideas
will be investigated. Thanks, Joel
