Title: floppy drive won't read any disks
Post by: the jesbus fire on July 04, 2004, 07:48:37 AM

ok well i have a gateway 300x but it doesn't come with a floppy drive. I took one off an old computer and i know it works cause it did on the other computer. I don't have the ide cable in wrong either because I just fixed that. I already setup in the bios that my computer should recognize a floppy drive. The icon shows up in my computer but when i click on it, it just says insert disk even if i already have one in there or just put one in. What am I doing wrong?
