1. Why do you need 2 floppy drives for?
2. Have you tried downloading the latest drivers? What's the make? Model?
3. As for the mobo, you may need to increase the multiplier. To do this you'll need to enter the BIOS on bootup, and change the memory multiplier to something higher. Please bear in mind, only do this if you know it should be on a higher setting.

1: are you sure you meant floppy? most board has 1 floppy header.

2: what exactly do you mean?

3: your board is probably not compatible with the mobile, either update the bios or set your multiplier in your current bios.

damnit...beat me to it...

It is setup at a stock of 133mhz and the multiplier is like 14 , i need to floppies incase one fails or something, i am getting the latest drivers as we speak,

My wireless mouse it acts all slow and doesn't want to scroll at all is what i mean by #2, Do you mean i can only use one floppy drive?, i am upgrading bios right now.

14*133=1862 , that seem to be correct. but does it say that in your bios or are you guessing?

about your mouse....new battery?

133? Are you sure?

Two floppies in case one fails? lol

Then in that case you'll only need one installed to be honest. What happens if your PC had a power surge? You'd lose both in one hit.

In any case, you can buy a floppy drive for lest than £5 ($10)
