    Can't find floppy

    Sometimes when I restart my computer after it looks and finds the cd/dvd roms and hard disks it shows a message that the floppy couldn't be found (error 40 or something)... I can hit F1 and continue or del and enter the setup. If I continue the restart right after (Ctrl-Alt-Del) it doesn't have a problem, it finds it and loads normally Any ideas as to why this might be?

    Does your floppy LED stay on constantly?

    If so than your power cable to your floppy is upside down...usually.

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't noticed but I don't think so. I'll have to notice next time it happens. Also, if it was upside down, would it work?
