I wish I could get to that point!! I am in the beginnings of a fresh
install of NT4 server. I don't even have the NIC listed yet. The floppy
just doesn't show up!

Any chance you are part of a domain that has a policy getting applied
restricting access to the floppy?

Nothing shows up in the system log, when I try to start sfloppy, I get :
Error 0020 The system cannot find the device specified. I guess I'll try a
BIOS update next. I just don't get it. I can boot to DOS, start setup, do
whatever I want. It's like the BIOS isn't talking to the OS.

Anything showing up in System log?
If not got to Start/settings/controlpanel/DEVICES. Scroll down and select
SFLOPPY. Then click on STARTUP button on right. Is SFLOPPY set to SYSTEM
startup type?

Do both the floppy drive and controller show up properly in Device Manager?

Yup. I can boot to the floppy, run fdisk, format drives, etc. It's just
when the installation finishes, it doesn't show up in my computer.

Does the BIOS recognize the floppy drive when you power up?

Ok, here's the problem...I just built a box, and installed NT server. Great,
however, when I go to My Computer, the floppy does not show up. It lists
all of my other drives, except A:. I've reinstalled server, even installed
workstation, but to no avail. I can boot to the floppy drive, poke around,
and all works well. There's nothing in the event log, and I even tried a
different floppy drive. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have
Thanks,
Marty
