If both ASUS motherboards do not seem to be working with the floppy drive at all, I would say the floppy drive is bad. Replace the floppy and see what happens from there. Floppy drives these days cost 10 to 15 bucks a piece. Otherwise it also could be faulty cable connection. Make sure the floppy cable to the floppy drive is not reversed. This is the cause of about 90% of floppy problems. If it is not connected right the floppy light will stay on forever. The last possibility is the floppy controller on the motherboard is not working. That would mean that the motherboard has to be replaced. This rarely happens, so I don't think that this is the problem. Especially with both ASUS motherboards. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail PCBUILD's List Owners: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
