    I had a 5.25" floppy drive installed on my previous computer. When I try to install it the exact same way (same cord and plugged into the same area on the cord) B:\ wont appear (5.25" floppy). I have enabled it in the bios multiple times however when I come back to check on the bios it is set back to "None". I have tried the 370kb and 1.2mb settings and upon exiting the bios (with saving) it gets set back to "None". Any ideas?

    My previous computer which was only 2yrs old supported it perfectly, aside from me having to pick the swap A:/ and B:/ drives (if I didnt XP would assume my B:/ was a 3.5")
