| 108027 | 2002-12-21 09:06:00 | I have just removed an LS120 drive (which I was using in place of a 31/2 floppy drive and now want to reinstall the Floppy drive. But I can't! It does not respond and when I click on it in Control Panel the system crashes. I am running Win98SE and also have a CDROM, CDRW and Zip drive (B) installed which work fine. Any ideas. |

| 108029 | 2002-12-21 09:10:00 | Did you uninstall the LS120 in control panel first, then power down, then remove LS120, fit FDD and power up, checking BIOS to see it was detected? Or did you just power down and swap, so the BIOS still thinks it has an LS120 and the PC is confused? |

| 108030 | 2002-12-21 09:18:00 | The latter, I think, although it was a more drawn out procedure as I as also installing the CDRW. Might a utility program detect the conflict? I checked the drive on another computer and it functioned ok, but here I don't even get a green light. Your responses are much appreciated. | bpt1 (419) | ||
| 108031 | 2002-12-21 09:35:00 | I have never used an LS120. I assume they are IDE, wheras your FDD uses the separate FDD cable and interface. Got the FDD plugged into the right cable (I dont *think* its the LS120 one, as that is IDE)? How about putting the 120 back in, then uninstalling correctly to remove the drivers? |

| 108032 | 2002-12-21 09:53:00 | I may just have to do that. The LS120 is an EIDE drive so they are not using the same cable. For what it's worth, when I try to uninstall the floppy driver under device manager I get the blue screen and then a message of a Rundll error. | bpt1 (419) | ||
| 108033 | 2002-12-21 10:09:00 | I once had an LS120 & it was on ide cable & bios auto detected it & there was no special software required . removing it is all that is required. At least it was for me cheers steve |
