    Hello fellows,

    My computer didn't come with a floppy drive so i had to purchase a separate floppy drive for my computer. I installed it OK…the floppy drive green light lights up and seems like it’s working but when I go into C drive…I don’t see any option for A drive (floppy drive)…

    Why is that so?? What should I do in order to run that floppy drive on my computer…

    Please help me!!

    It shouldn't be in C, it should be in 'My Computer'.

    Also, were there any drivers?

    Are you using a twisted cable ? Is it plugged in right?

    Wait, Does the green light stay lit up? Maybe cable is on wrong?

    The drive should have markings to show pin #1 to #34 for the flat cable. The motherboard should have similar. Be sure that the drive's pin #1 connects with pin #1 of the board. The cable has a stripe along the wire #1.
