WinXP will not recognize USB Floppy Drive Module

[Guest]

How can I correct Windows XP Professional, SP1, so it will recognize a plug in Floppy Disk Drive in my Dell Inspiron 8500?

A clean install of WinXP on another hard drive recognizes the drive, but I need to repair the original OS installation if possible to maintain integrity of my customer's many programs/data.

Jose, thanks for the response, but reistallation of the drivers did not help. It looks like I'm going to have to repartition and reinstall everything.
