8333 2001-02-04 19:08:00 Recently upgraded motherboard and CPU. Everything worked fine for a week or so, but now I am getting a Floppy Disk Fail (40) message on boot up. I threw in another floppy drive and tried changing cable, to no avail. In Device Manager, it shows the Floppy controller is working fine. I am at a loss... anyone hae any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

is you floppy cable keyed? if not then try flipping over the cable. If it's got two connectors on it try the other one. Check no bent pins on the connector on the motherboard, check bios settings. All obvious stuff I know, but I hope it's one of these as it would be a bit traumatic if your new motherboard had a flakey connector
