I have a LS-120 attached to an IDE channel. The Bios on my
motherboard recognizes it properly but Windows XP thinks
it is a standard 3.5" floppy and won't recognize or format
the SuperDisk'z.
Does anybody know how to get XP to recognize it properly?

The LS-120 is not a standard floppy drive and is listed in
the Windows Catalog as a XP compaatible drive under
removable media drives. It will format the standard floppy
formats with not trouble.

In the Bios disable both floppy A and B and also the Floppy
Controller.
