Problem with floppy drive

[dlsa]

Hi,
I have an Amiga 1200. With the original floppy disk drive:

scenaro 1
- I turn on the power
- without any disk in the drive the computer tries to access it on boot (the led lights up)
- it then boots off the hard disk
- Workbench shows DF0: DF1: DF2: and DF3: icons all with a question mark
- I insert a disk that is amiga formatted and nothing happens

scenario 2
- I insert an amiga formatted floppy into the drive
- I turn on the power
- the computer tries to boot off from the disk but it is not bootable (the led lights up)
- it then boots off the hard disk
- Workbench shows the name of the disk in place of the DF0: icon and shows also DF1: DF2: DF3: with question marks
- I double click the icon for the diskette and it opens a new window showing the contents (just the trash can)
- I eject the disk from the drive, but the disk icon does not update. The computer still thinks the disk is in the drive.

I also tried replacing the drive with a gotek, but still have to test better in order to make an accurate description

Could the problem be the drive ? The Amiga motherboard was recently recapped, and I don't know if I messed anything up.

Thanks,
Regards

It could be a problem with the drive, but first of all check to see that the drive cable is plugged in correctly at both ends. See if it sits neatly on both rows of pins.
