windows 2000 floppy drive problems

[Rael]

Hi,

I recently installed win 2000 pro along with service pack 2. I set up the
system as a dual boot with win 98. My floppy drive works fine in 98 but in
2000 I get the following message:

"The disk in drive A is not formatted. Do you want to format it now"

I click yes but then it comes back and says formatting failed. Here is what
I've done so far:

- Removed the floppy controller and drive from device manager
- Loaded defaults in the Bios

I've tried several disks that work fine in 98 as I said before. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Rael

I had the same problem, but after new motherboard it works fine.
I think you're motherboard is the old for w2k.
What is the speed of the pc?

Try win2000, you never look back.

Pentium 600 with 384 mb ram. I'd have to look to see exactly which
motherboad I have, but I can't imagine that its too old??? Although what
else would be causing the problem. Let me know what you think. I use 2000
at work and it runs great here at home so I hope I can solve this.

Thanks,
Rael
