Solve : Windows XP Pro Floppy Help?

Answer»

i used to have an LS-120 and a 5 1/4 floppy drive in my computer LS-120 was A, 5 1/4 was B
i took the LS 120 out and put in a 1.44 Floppy (i disconected the 5 1/4 drive) i changed the Bios to MATCH floppy A is a 1.44 drive

yet windows Xp still sees the 1.44 B when i have a single to single cable on it (AKA i dont have a cable that has A/B connecters

can someone help me Does the BIOS report it as A: when booting ? ?
If so you can change how XP reports it by assigning it the letter A: in Disk Management.yes in bios it shows up as a
when i go into disk managment the floppy doesnt EVEN SHOW up or at least i cant find itMy bad...you should be able to re-label it in My Computer...right click "change drive letter and path"I don't see the option in the right click MENU in My Computer. It is in the right click menu in Disk Management. Maybe he did not right click there.

FCVPI99, take a look in Disk Management again. Right click on a drive and see whether you have the option to change drive letter.On my Win2K machine it is not LISTED in Disk Management even with a floppy in...i think this actually has something to do with the Zip drive software itself...
It's been awhile since i used one but i believe it had to be listed as A: in order to work properly.

Check in Device Manager and see if there is still an LS120 listing...if so remove it and re-boot and see what happens.Ah, I see what you mean. Disk Management does not show floppy drives; at least, I don't see it in Disk Management in my Win XP Pro system. I have a partitioned hard drive, an external hard drive, and two flash drives connected and they all show up in Disk Management, but no floppy drive shown there.I thought i was the one losin' it...
