floppy disk drive. do you have 1? if not than is it enabled thereby causing the error. if you do have 1 than reseat the floppy drive data cable at both ends & make certain the power connector to drive is seated properly.

you may want to use the online customer service and see if they can figure out what it is.

mine use to give me an error until i disabled the floppy in the BIOS but since you have already done that i am not sure why you still get it.

look there is an update 4 the bios that i NEED only prob is i have vista and i dnt know how to update the bios since the read me of how to flash the bios seems to b written by a 5yr old also the readme is a guide of how to flash all bios not mine especifically so its harder

steimy u have the power up edition that supports c2d mine doesnt

look here the bios says it fixes the ddr2 533 ram my ram is recognized at 667 and if i put in the bios 533 it still runs at 667 so any help on how to flash my bios would b GREATLY appreciated

i need some1 to run the utility on win xp so it copys the files to a floppy then put those files from the floppy to a zip and send them to me with the instructions (i know this sounds like alot but my friends either have vista or no floppy on their pc's)

only thing i have is the MSI Live Update program, it downloads and installs the BIOS for you, along with any other updates. But i have no floppy drive. Can your system use that program?

I am not even sure it will run on Vista.

1st to flash the bios u need a floppy it doesnt do it within windows (which i find that extremely stupid considering my old pc chips mobo from 4yrs ago had that technology)

2nd it doesnt work on vista (msi makes video cards with dx10 like the 8800 which forces u to have vista IF they know that y the hell dont they make their applications vista ready?)

yeah, that does kind of suck. I only used the live update once. If everything works fine i see no reason to update the BIOS because then i have to go back in there and reset all my settings because it goes back to it's default when it flashes the new BIOS.
i looked around and just could not find and good information on an FDD error on the web. Hope you can get it sorted out.
