Boot Block won't recognize Floppy drive

[Oerg]

A rather hilarious error of AWDFLASH made the checksum go wrong and my beloved aBit IS7-E is stuck on BIOS ROM Checksum error.

But it says Drive A error. I'm stumped here. I connected two different floppy drives and used a gajillion different cables -- nothing. I can't get the thing to recognize my floppy drive.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Is it a USB Floppy Drive?
Can you please check whether the Floppy Drive is in the supported list in your mother board user guide?

The BIOS Boot Block is a very tiny foot print firmware. So generally BIOS vendors support very standard and limited hardware list in there.

Good Luck!
