I am trying to add a 5.25 and 3.5 in-one drive. I was able
to setup the BIOS. And in DOS mode I can access both
drives. But when in Windows 98 normal mode only the first
drive shows up under MYCOMPUTER. If I go to windows 98
safe mode I find both drives under MYCOMPUTER and I am
able to access data from both. So I do not know what is
the problem. Has anyone seen this problem before?

Hi Firas,

In Safe Mode - Device Manager, locate and delete floppy
drives *and* the floppy disk controllers.
Restart to see if Win98 re-detects properly.
