The floppy drive is not accesible

do the following:

-Reboot the PC and try again

-check CMOS setup.Is the drive configured correctly?

-Use a different power cable

-if the drive uses a controlled card, remove the card.Using a clean white eraser, erase and clean the edge connector and reseat the board

-Use a different power cable

-Replace the data cable

-If the drives still don't work, suspect the system board or the Rom Bios on the system board
