I'm trying to install a 5.25 floppy drive in my PC with Win2000, don't ask me why...I'm just bored. When I try to format a floppy I an error message.

C:\>format a:
Insert new disk for drive A:
and press ENTER when ready...
The type of the file system is RAW.
The new file system is FAT.
Verifying 360K
7% formatting
The device is busy..

C:\>
I've tried setting the drive type to both 1.2mb and 360kb. This is the furthest I've ever been able to get.
