This is a new build using an ASUS PRP800-MX and windows XP PRO SP2.

I have a customer that wants to have 2 floppy drives. I didn't know why, but customers get what they want. I need some rapid help as I am supposed to deliver the PC today.

The BIOS is enabled for the second drive, configured to B: 3.5" 1.44MB.

The cable is on correctly.

The drive is functional and is getting power.

Win XP Pro SP2 sees both drives OK.

When I try to access the drive, I get prompted to insert a disk in drive B: even though there is a disk in there that can successfully be read from drive A:

Swapping the 2 drives on the cable and whichever drive is on A: can read and write but still I am unable to access whichever drive is on drive B:.

Can I PLEASE get some assistance ASAP as I am supposed to deliver this PC to the customer today.

Thanks in advance.
