Have anybody come across this problem?  I am trying to load an OS in a
new HD and after attaching the HD,CDRom drive, and Floppy disk, when I
turn the PC on, the Floppy disk drive green light stays light up all the
time.  

In the startup process, ths system recognizes the floppy, but when I put
a disk on it, even though I can feel the drive working, it just asks for
a booting disk (which is the one I am putting on) I changed the jumper
settings both in the HD and Floppy drive but unless I missed some other
jumper combinations,it did not work.

Please, can anybody help me on this?

Thanks a lot.
