Driver Problem - On a floppy drive!?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Check your BIOS to see if the floppy is detected correctly, and that there
is only one floppy detected. There may be (or may not be) some setting for
you to indicate quantity and type of floppy drives you have installed in the
BIOS - I just can't remember. Also, check which connector on the ribbon
cable / jumper settings on the floppy to see if they are correct.

If you haven't changed the hardware connections on the floppy at all and
your BIOS was not changed then it is likely a Windows issue and some one
else will likely speak up.

I'm experiencing the same issue with a Gateway 400 (AMD K26). I have tried
the suggestions, but the results are the same.
