| Step 9 – Motherboard Setup |
You need to make sure that your floppy disk drive is enabled at the motherboard setup. The motherboard setup is accessed by pressing Del right after turning on your computer. There go to “Standard Setup” and look for an option to configure “Drive A.” Change this option if necessary so “Drive A” will be configured as 1.44 M, 3.5,” as shown in Figure 33.  click to enlarge Figure 33: Enabling the floppy disk drive.
Also make sure that the floppy disk driver controller is enabled. This option is usually enabled by default, but since you are already inside setup it is always good to double check this. Look for an option called “On-Board FDC,” “On-Board Floppy Controller” or similar under “Integrated Peripherals.” If your motherboard has this function, it should be set as “enabled.” Our motherboard didn’t have this option and that is why we are not providing a screenshot of it. Exit setup saving your changes (press F10 or Esc and then choose to save your changes) and you’re all set. No installation or configuration is necessary on the operating system; it will automatically detect and enable your floppy disk drive and your card reader, if you have one (the card reader will appear on My Computer as a new removable drive).
