floppy drive and gigabyte motherboard
Gigabyte GA-71XE Athlon Motherboard. 500 MhZ. 128 PC 133 RAM. Voodoo 3 3000agp. Soundblaster PCI 512. 15 MB Maxtor hard drive. Memorex 48x CD Rom. Sony 12x8x32 multi-read CDRW.
Have problems with floppy drives A&B, the ribbon cable is properly attached. I've tried 2 different floppy drives and 3 different cables. The computer is giving me a an "invalid system disk" (I know the boot disk is good) or I get a "Disk I/O error, replace disk and press any key" It does not matter what disk I put in, I get one of the above messages. No windows boot disk is a valid disk according to the computer. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Please feel free to email me at [email protected]

Since you have tried different ribbon cables, floppy drives and disketes, there is probably a problem with the motherboard.
