Boot Block won't recognize Floppy drive

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!

Check the capacitors on your board

Replace the cmos CR2032 battery with a new one
Try another keyboard.
