I installed two different new floppy drives in my computer (Windows XP)
and neither reads disks. The light does go on showing it works (but not
constantly though, just when I click on Drive A, and Windows XP shows it
in the Device Manager, and shows no problems.(but doesn't stay on),
BUT it shows "Please insert disk into drive A:" even when there is a disk
in there, and won't read any disks.
HOWEVER, I put in an old floppy drive from an old computer, and it works
fine.
So what could be causing this weird behavior? I've ruled out the ribbon
cable being backwards, and it's unlikely the two new drives are defective.
Could it be a floppy drive driver problem or controller driver problem?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
