Dirty drive head. Fix: Use a head cleaning disk. 2. Loose cable between drive and motherboard. Fix: Re-seat the cable plugs firmly in sockets. 3. Bad Drive. Fix: Replace drive. 4. Faulty cable Fix: Replace cable. 5. Bad Drive controller. Fix: Since drive controller is usually built in, replace the motherboard. Alternately, disable onboard controller in BIOS and use a controller card. You forgot 6 6. 3 1/2 inch 1.44 meg drive is defined as 5 1/4 inch 1.2meg drive ( or some other wrong type) Fix: reset disk type in BIOS Good luck BarryG |
