First post, by stry8993
This is my first post, and I apologize if this is wrong place for it. I'm new here, and new to Retro Computers. I got my 3.5 inch floppy drive in today, plugged it in, and at first, it wasn't finding any disks. So I fiddled around with some floppy related stuff in the BIOS, and now Windows is showing it as a 5.25 inch floppy drive. Thing is, when I'm in DOS, a: won't work, but b: will. And it'll find the floppy disks. I'm not sure if I installed it wrong, or what the heck is going on, but I could really use some help right about now 🙁. The Floppy Drive and Disks do read, perfectly fine, in DOS, when I use b: / b:\dir etc.
System is:
Abit BH6 1.1
Celeron 300A
Matrox G200+
Diamond Impact S90
VIA 5-Port USB 2.0 PCI
Lite-On 48x CD-ROM
ExcelStor Europa 60GB
Sony MPF920-L Floppy Drive
I'd appreciate any help. The end goal is to play '96, '97, '98, '99, and early '00 games once I get my two Voodoo2's in there, but waiting on some other stuff. In the interim I was wanting to update the BIOS, which is partially the reason I'm attempting to tackle this whole Floppy Disk/Drive issue.
