I've purchased the MSI P965 Platinum board, installed it, and noticed that the Floppy Drive Controller doesn't work... it doesn't seek for the floppy drive at boot up, and doesnt read/write the floppy... in windows when a floppy it says please insert a floppy drive, so it doesnt detect when a floppy disk is inserted either ... in linux i get sector errors when i try reading the floppy device, and I still get the same error even when there's no disk in the drive, or even if the floppy drive is not plugged in to the drive...
I've tried switching floppy drives, same thing (so the possibility of floppy drive not working is ruled out)
(yes floppy drive is enabled in both settings in the bios)
So I figured that the motherboard came with a defective FD controller, so I returned it to the store and exchanged it for another MSI P965 Platinummotherboard... installed the new MB , and guess what, EXACT SAME THING! No FD read/write/access!
is MSI shipping their P965 Platinum boards with a defective FD controller??
Since not a lot of people build computers anymore, and those that do, don't have floppy drives (because they're "outdated" and have no use for a system with a newer Intel CPU that P965 takes). and those that have floppy drives dont have MSI boards, maybe it could be that this bug has gone unnoticed for a long time???
Or could someone have a solution, perhaps tell me what to do?
