If not, make sure the power cable is properly connected and that the end of the floppy drive data cable with the twisted section goes to the floppy drive. Make sure the other end is plugged properly into the motherboard and that the red stripe on the cable is oriented with pin #1 on both the floppy drive and the motherboard connector. If you *do* see the light flash during POST but it still doesn't work, then I'd go through the BIOS settings and check the following: On the Main Menu, does your floppy show up as: "Legacy Diskette A [1.44M, 3.5in.]" ? If it doesn't, stop right here and double check that the cabling is done correctly. If you don't have a second floppy like a 5 1/4" one, it should also say "Legacy Diskette B [ none ]" Under "I/O Device Configuration" Make sure "Onboard FDC Swap A&B" is set to "no swap" "Floppy Disk Access Control [R/w]" Under the BIOS "Boot Menu" section: "1. Removable Device [ Legacy Floppy ]" "2. IDE Hard Drive [ (whatever you have) ]" Basically, you didn't tell us if your floppy works outside of Linux. Make sure it does, if it doesn't after checking the above things, then it sounds to me like you have a hardware problem, and perhaps you need to contact ASUS tech support.
