After installing RC1, my floppy drive shows up as drive letter B:
Could this be a motherboard/BIOS issue or is it Vista?

If anyone else has experienced this issue with Vista builds, please let me
know what I should do to correct the drive letter so it shows up as A:

Thanks,

Hi KeithG1,

Don't think this is quite the same thing, but when I installed RC1, I had
TWO floppy drives showing... A & B. When a disc was inserted in the drive,
neither "device" would open it! I discovered that the power cable to the
floppy drive was disconnected! Don't know why 2 drives appeared; any
connection? No pun intended!!!

Hi Mike, thanks for the response. Sorry, no connection to the issue you had.
In XP Pro, the drive shows up correctly as A: It's just in Vista it shows as
B: Weird!
 
Can you change it with Disk Manager?

Hi Keith,
Have you tried uninstalling the drive in device manager and letting VISTA
find it again.
 
Hi PaulB,
Good idea. Unfortunately, Vista found it and labeled it B: I tried checking
the Registry too, but no luck.
Thanks for trying!
 
Hi KeithG1
Usually the way the operating system labels floppy drives is dependent on
the cable
and if a multi connector cable where on the cable. Have you tried another
floppy cable?
