just bought a nice new case so i've just finished a complete rebuild.
with the old build i had a floppy drive installed, but i decided to do away with it finally.
so on first boot of the rebuild, with nothing attached to the ide floppy connector, i got a floppy error, even though i'd cleared cmos first - error 40 (mobo is a EVGA nForce 680 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 by the way).
so i press f1 to continue and i get a cmos checksum error - defaults loaded.
so i removed the cmos battery and the power cable from the psu, and left it like that for about an hour (this worked last time i got a cmos checksum error that wouldn't go), then cleared cmos again and rebooted with the battery back in, but i still get the floppy error no. 40. the cmos memory was deffo cleared cos when i booted into windows the system date was away back at sometime in 2002.
why does the mobo still think there is a floppy attached. anybody know whats going on here???
