    Question boot problems

    I have 2 problems:

    First, i am unable to boot my computer from the floppy drive.
    Second, when i boot my computer in DOS, floppy drive is not accesible
    (i get the message "invalid drive spesification" when i try to reach it).

    Under WINDOWS the drive works WITHOUT problems!

    (cables,BIOS SETUP checked.I also changed the floppy(and the cable) with a new one but the problem persists)
    Is there a solution for my problem?

    Well,

    My solution WOULD have looked something like this: Make sure you've got the Pin 1 lined up on the floppy drive and motherboard, make sure the drive is set as a 1.44MB 3.5" drive in the BIOS, and make sure you aren't using a bad disk (or several). Since you checked all of these though, I really couldn't say what the problem would be, sorry.
