I just setup my P4 system, everything works fine except my floppy drive.. the light wont go off and it cant read any disk..keep saying please insert diskette... Can anyone help me?
 
Yeah, you put the cable on wrong. One end or the other or possibly both are plugged in backwards. Red stripe on the cable goes to pin 1 of the appropriate connectors. And the floppy should be on the end connector where the cut and twist is.
