Re: BSoD on Windows Install - ASUS P5WD2

Check the floppy cable is in around the right way - pin 1 to pin1 - always
green LED = upside down cable - I did it yesterday.

i got an internal floppy drive to try that and see if it would respond
better to the S option in F6 driver menu, but windows does not ever try
to use the floppy drive. the light is always green (even without a
disk) but it never even sounds like it's in use. I'll try another
floppy drive.

I was hoping that this would load drivers when I hit S instead of
loading them when I hit enter, but that's not working at all.

It is recognizing the floppy drive though. If I disable the BIOS Legacy
Floppy option (it's set to 3.5" 1.44MB option) then the windows setup
doesn't think there is a floppy drive. (So I know that option has an
effect)

The setup atleast loaded the .sys files I was feeding it through the
external USB FDU (after skipping the S option, I hit enter and it reads
the files and puts them into memory).

So I'm at a loss again,
Thoughts?

Thanks,
-Dan
