Dreaded 02b2 error

Hi, when I go to boot up I get 02B2- incorrect drive a type error. I had this problem about 2 months ago and it just came back. I restored the reg., set the Bios to default, reset the NVRAM and made sure the floppy is set right in the Bios. I have the latest Bios . The floppy drive and computer is running fine.Im thinking of flashing the Bios again. Any other suggestions? Running Windows 98. Thanks T.C.

Have you tried replacing the floppy cable? Might be a less-than-perfect contact at one of the connectors.

If that doesn't help, I'd try plugging in a new/different floppy drive. Even though it seems to be working there could be something flaky going on with it's interface during boot.

Good thinking T.C.

Not sure what that works....but it often does. Hope your problem stays fixed.
