Floppy Drive Fail

I have checked the cable and even tried a different floppy drive, but i still get a floppy drive fail message when i boot up. I also made sure the settings are correct. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

replace the cable and make SURE it's plugged in the correct way

Sounds like the floppy controller chip on the motherboard is at fault.
Try clearing the cmos/bios, if that fails u may need to get a new board

After you do as was suggested make sure the floppy is turn on in the bios. Someone may have turned it off by accident. But I would rather think its your cord. GoodLuck!
