I just installed an LS-120 hoping to replace my floppy. I have my drives set up like this: Primary master: HD (c: and d: ), primary slave: LS-120 (e: ), secondary master: DVD (f: ), secondary slave: CDRW (g: ). I went to the bios and changed the boot sequence to LS-120, c and I set it to no floppy drive. When I rebooted, all of the drives were recognized, but there was an additional 5 1/2" floppy drive set to A:. Of course I don't have a 5 1/2" floppy drive and when I clicked on it, it froze windows explorer. So my first question is how do I remove the 5 1/2" drive from a:?
Second question: When I tried to use a boot up disk to boot from the LS-120, it just went right into windows, instead of booting to the dos prompt like I wanted it to. How do I get it to boot from the LS? It is recognized and reads and writes fine, I'm just having the problems I just described. This is my first time using an LS, so if anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
