I have just built a new PC: Cyrix M1 CPU, PCI m/b with on-board IDE, etc.

I have a strange problem in that when I get many floppy drive errors
(mainly read errors) when accessing floppies from Windows.  Everything is
absolutely find from DOS.

I have checked the obvious - cables plugged in OK, etc.

Any idea what the problem may be?

TIA,
