I get this message under standard floppy disk controller in device manager.
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've had this problem just recently
and I didn't do anything to cause it (I don't think I did anyway). I've
tried reinstalling it. I know the floppy drive works and that the data cable
works. I have also tested the power cable. As well as this i have checked
that the floppy disk controller is enabled in bios. I have posted this on
many websites before but with little success...please help. I run windows xp
and in a drastic attempt to solve the problem i formatted and
reinstalled...but with no luck. I have tested the floppy disk on other
computers and it works fine.
Thanks,
Ryan

If your drivers are ok and the floppy works in another computer, I' m afraid
there is a problem with the floppy controller on your motherboard.
My first idea was that the flat connection cable was inverted, but you said
you didn't change anything...

If the floppy disk light is on all the time then the data cable is the
wrong way round?

wrong way round?
also if the data cable has 3 plugs only use the end two,not the middle
one.

Some Big ****

Had exactly the same problem a couple of years ago but in Win2K, never knew
why it happened (possibly after installing a SCSI card) and never knew how
to solve it; only knew (because tested) it had nothing to do with the drive
or with the cable. Had to reinstall the whole lot and then it worked OK! No
great help, I realise. Sorry
