No, they are not new floppies, they old ones with data already on them. You
think by replacing the old floppy drive that I might have to go into BIOS and
configure the new floppy drive (A)? There is only one spot for a floppy and
there isn't even a spot for a zip drive. I would have to get a new case if I
wanted to put more than one floppy drive or a zip drive in this PC.
When I first installed the new drive it said couldn't format the diskette.
The green light did come on also. Now though I'm getting no light at all. And
I don't even get an option to eject when I right click on the drive icon in
My Computer when a diskette is in it.
Thanks, attilathejun
