53173	2002-06-08 06:22:00	I recently replaced an LS120 drive with a Zip drive and my computer would no longer start. I thought it was the power supply, but after removing the various drives and then reconnecting them I was able to start up again. Is this a bios problem? I have a Gigabyte GA-6BXC Rev 1.7 motherboard. Any ideas? Thanks	Guest (0)

53177	2002-06-08 13:14:00	So lets just get this... You removed the LS 120 drive.. Added a zip 100 in its place.... Did you add a floppy drive as well?? or did you already have one?? Its just the 120's can act as a normal floppy as well, so normally when one is fitted there is no floppy drive installed. So if you removed it then your computer would be looking for a floppy drive that wasnt there......of course if you have a seperate floppy drive then that throws this theory out the window.........

Perhaps you have to set jumpers on the zip drive the same? (assuming zip drive has jumpers?) cheers Steve	Guest (0)
