..My OS: Win XP Pro /SP2. Floppy disk controller and Floppy disk drive are
both recognized in "Device Manager", and the "Device Status" states that
both are working properly but, the device does not recognize a disk when it
is inserted. I bought and installed a new floppy drive and I still have the
problem. Please help

Boot the machine with a Win98 boot disk from
www.bootdisk.com. If this works then your problem
is caused by Windows. It it fails then you have a hardware
problem.
