Shut the pc down, slide the side off the pc and temporarily remove the small white power connector from the floppy drive as show in this picture.

Then reboot and tell us what happens then.

I disconnect the "A" drive and reboot the pc the only difference I notice is that the " A " drive is not showing in my computer .
I also took out the " A " drive and put in another computer and it work perfect .

This then may be a faulty floppy ribbon cable or the connector on the board.
