I have a Matshita LS-120 drive in a removable tray that fits a matching cage on my computer. I normally use this cage for my backup HD drive that is in a tray of its own.
This is the 3rd internal LS-120 drive that I have tried to use with no success. My first was an external USB unit that was OK until it died. The recent ones are IDE, jumpered as either Cable Select or Slave. The drive is shown to be working in Device Manager and is recognized in Hardware Profiles and the BIOS, but does not show in My Computer; I never get a "New hardware found" message. The BIOS sees it as a LS-120 IDE drive, but does not have a setting to see it as a 120 MB floppy.
I have diligently searched for a new driver, but I keep getting referred back to the "Native" driver that comes with XP.
My digital camera uses LS-120 disks that I can upload to my computer through it's USB cable, but I prefer to use the LS-120 drive. I have also removed my original floppy drive and tried the LS-120 by itself; it still does not work.
During my driver searches I found that other users have the same problem with LS-120's on XP, but no one seems to have found a fix for it. I personally am burnt out and can't think of anything else to try myself. Any solution, suggestion or help will be most welcome.
