Every disk I put into the drive It tells me is not formated, including my Microsoft disks... I can't access any information on them at all... any ideas on what to do?

Hi,


Try removing the floppy drive and controller in Device Manager and reboot.

If this fails replace the floppy drive and cable.

They do have a limited lifespan if used a lot.

You could try cleaning it, but would have to buy a cleaning kit. A new drive is about the same price.

Hi,

The most common mistake of new builders is having the floppy cable upside down on the drive. Flip it over and give it a try.
