so my cables are wrong??
Don't know where i'm wrong

If i could have help, it would be appreciate
thanks in advance for time you will give me

Could you maybe have the ribbon cable plugged in upside down?

Can you specify man? ''in upside down''?

Where the ribbon plugs in to the back of the floppy drive, I believe it is possible to plug it in either way.
Usually if you plug it in wrong, the mpc won't start and all the lights come on.

Well, i check this now!

Just had a look at my old floppy drive and ribbon. It does look as if your ribbon might be round the wrong way at the end which plugs in to the circuit board.

You need to try to twist the ribbon through 180 degrees so the red stripe on the ribbon is towards the bottom of your picture.
I realise English is not your first language but I can't really explain it any clearer.
Hope this sorts your problem.

OK you think it's because the ribbon is folded? Sorry for the language

Yes exactly !
Don't worry about the language thing , I think you understand now

Well the ribbon is too short i can do nothing
i tried by holding the driver in my hand, no folded thing but still no start

Well I'm sorry it didn't work. Maybe someone else could help you.

Man it works now i'm an idiot

Take a look, i was on the left slot now i'm here
