AnnieO Posted May 24, 2006 Just put all my parts together and hit the power button and bam no problems :nod: Installed everything just fine but now it will not read the floppy drive. The light is on and i see it as an A drive but it will not read a floppy disk at all. Therefore cannot flash bios yet. One other problem my hdd is reading as a removable drive? It's a sata WD I believe everything is hooked up correctly but it still reads as a removable drive. If anyone has a solution feel free to help me out.

Guest shaolin95 Posted May 24, 2006 You can flash with a CD. Go to the Bios section and download the CD image, burn to a cd and then boot from the CD. I dont even have a floppy in my rig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, you put the cable on backwards. Take the end you plugged onto the floppy and turn it 180 degrees. That should take care of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnnieO Posted May 25, 2006 That was not the problem but thank you anyways... floppy was old and it did die..put it back into my old comp and same problem, I have not used it in awhile. They are cheap and I'll just go get another one. Anyone have a solution to the WD hdd being seen as a removable drive? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I have never used a sata drive before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnnieO Posted May 26, 2006 Anybody? No one has had this problem with a SATA hard drive? :confused: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reinvented Posted May 26, 2006 It is showing up as a removable drive since ALL sata drives can be hot swappable. You can plug them in and play. It's normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
