DOS -> General device failure a/f/r (or something similar). Cable is connected correctly. Have tried cable from another pc, same result. FDD works ok in other pc. MB socket appears ok. CMOS lists 3.5' 1.44mb drive & drive is found on boot. Any suggestions appreciated.	Guest (0)

Have reinstalled FDD & controller drivers although must be hardware related rather than Win as not working in DOD either? Is a BIOS renewal worth a try? Have had some trouble with bad blocks - some connection perhaps?	Guest (0)
