Hi All
Have fitted a floppy disk drive to my computer which did not have one
installed when purchased. The problem is that it does not recognise when a
disk is inserted.
message tells me to insert disk.
Have tried uninstall and reload drivers still nothing. all conections ok.
Any idea's please
 
Does the BIOS/CMOS locate the correct floppy drive and the definition? 3 1/2
inch 1.44MB floppy drive?

Is the floppy drive light on even when it's not in use? If so, the data
cable on your floppy drive is upside down. Does the drive light not come
on at all? Doublecheck the drive's connection to the motherboard at both
ends, as well as the power. Try another cable for both if you can.

If nothing works, try another floppy drive.
