Floppy problem

After upgrading my processer I cannot copy or send to my A drive (floppy). I am having no problems
with other drives CDRW or DVD. I recieve the following error.

"A/ is not accessable
No ID address was found on floppy"

Any ideas? Is this a BIOS problem?

try to check your cable inside your computer, or load optimal settings in your BIOS

or "flash" your BIOS

Thanks connecter was backwards. Problem now is when I restarted I recieved a floppy disk fail in BIOS GUARDIAN.I was given choice to continue or try to fix by going into CMOS setup, all my hardware was there, and I setup A/ 3 1/2 floppy 1.44, saved and exited only to recieve another failure notice, so I continued without floppy. I guess I now have bad hardware but hope someone has another idea. I rarely use the floppy except for small things (favorites, addresses etc.) but hate using my zip drive. I ran Belarc and it does recognize the floppy hardware.

Thanks, I'll live and learn, Bob
