Floppy drive mismatch

Explanation: The system has detected that the type of floppy disk drives it sees in the system does not match what you have defined in the BIOS setup program. In fact, many systems will not report this but will just malfunction when the drive(s) are set up incorrectly.

Diagnosis: The floppy disk settings in the BIOS setup are incorrect.

Recommendation:

Enter the BIOS setup program and correct the floppy disk type settings.
Troubleshoot the floppy disk drive(s). In particular, ensure that the floppy disk drives are connected properly; they may be cabled backwards if you are using two drives.
