I am looking at my cousin's Hewlett Packard Omnibook model 4100.
It has 64 MEG RAM, 6 GB hard drive I think. Windows 98 installed.
The problem is no floppy drive access. I examined the BIOS/CMOS setting for the floppy drive and it is set at 1.44 MB. Is this correct? Or, did this unit come with a 2.88 MB floppy drive by any chance?

The HP Omnibook 4100 can be used with the floppy drive or the CDROM by swapping one for the other.

She said "No trouble with the CDROM". When I tried to access the floppy drive with a disk inserted, the indicator LED lite comes on for about 30 seconds or more, the pointer shows an hourglass, and then the messages below appear:
Using My Computer under Windows:
A:\ is not accessible.
The device is not ready.

Using the F8 key and "command prompt only" menu choice I get:
Not ready reading drive A
Abort, Retry, Fail

Device Manager reports the floppy drive as working. Any suggestions?
