floppy drive no work

You've probably done this, but did you try flipping the cable around? The
floppy cable can sometimes fit two ways, but only one is right.

I could use any help here from someone that might have a better Idea on
how to get the floppy drive working.I have the P4C800E and when i first
got the board the floppy worked fine then i went a very long time not
using the floppy and have updated the Bios and still it will not work i
have taking out the drive unplugged it and all the things that i can
think of but no work,My friend has the same board and it just did the
same thing any new ideas would be welcome thanks for any replies....

have a floppy everything looks ok i even bought a new floppy drive and put it
in,thanks for any help
