Setting a floppy drive as A: instead of B:?

greenman100 · Aug 13, 2004

I have an LS120 floppy drive that operates on the IDE port

however, I have played with BIOS settings and windows setting and I can't get it to come up as the A:....any ideas?

The only real help I could find on Google suggests the following:

Floppy drive reading as B and not A:
If the computer has an LS120 drive it is likely that you may be experiencing any of the following possibilities:

1. The drive is not correctly configured in CMOS. Some computers may require that the Floppy drive be disabled as the LS120 drive is a IDE device.
2. If software is required for the LS120 drive verify that it is installed on the computer.
3. Verify that there are no BIOS updates related to this issue. Additional information about BIOS updates can be found on document CH000236.

I'd make sure that the IDE channel that the LS-120 is on is set to Auto for it's type, and then disable the Floppy Controller also through the BIOS.
