bad motherboard?

[badshooter]

I plugged in a usb floppy drive to my computer and got a "unrecognized device" error in windows XP, so I unplugged it and the message didn't go away. I've tried everything to get this message to go away with NOTHING plugged into any usb port. Restart, uninstall-reinstall usb drivers,even reformat hard drive( its a totally new system with nothing to lose but time). Can the new board be bad?

is there drivers for the floppy drive?

 

[mole1135]

prolly not most of the usb floppys are plug and play

 

[Lonewolf5460]

true but you never know i have had some strange driver issues caused by things i thought were plug and play

Tried resetting the CMOS? thats the only thing that can be carrying settings over to a freshly reinstalled system.

Try a different cable.

I still get the error message with NOTHING plugged in. It shouldn't matter what device or cable I have if its not plugged in.
