'A:\' Drive Problems

[Ravi]

This may be such a simple problem but I need help. I recently installed a cd burner which is ok and i have no problems but now the light on my 'A:\' Drive does not come off and it doesn't work. If I try to use it says 'the device is not ready'. I not sure if I knocked something out. THere were two things connected to it and I know one was the power. I took them both out for some reason I can't remember but I put them back the way I thought it was. Now it doesn't work. Can any offer some advice on what could be wrong. Is there something else that was suppose to be attached or did I put those other 2 things in backwards. Please help

usually when a floppy drive light stays on and you removed the cable for some reason

try turning the cable around that is connected to the floppy
(the one that goes to the motherboard)

that should solve your problem

im sorry i read my email to you and it sounds confusing

unplug the long cable that is connected to the back of the floppy and flip it around and plug it back in

that should solve it
