No, unless you have a RIS Server...and are really familiar with how to script for a remote install to a client..

Sounds like you have the cable backwards on the drive or not centered over all of the pins. The red cable on the end should be on pin 1 of the floppy.

Unfortunately I can't take into account a backwards cable.. since there are the raised notches on both ends which won't allow me to stick it on incorrectly =/

I've also tried multiple cables as well with the same luck.. hope it's screwed up floppy drive and not a bad controller =(
