No Floppy drive

[GumbyLives]

Hi,
I am running Win XP Pro SP2 and for some reason I cannot read from my floppy
drive. It keeps saying the drive is not formatted, but the disc is. I don't
think it's a hardware issue because I have tried it on another floppy drive
I had kicking around.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try this first. Head to your CMOS/BIOS setup utility before you boot your PC
and disable 3 mode floppy support. Set it to support 1.44 MB floppies only.
