boot problems

[aposva]

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.
