Hey'

My mom just got her computer back from the store from getting fixed and nowher floppy drive is not working properly. Like in my computer it is dected and through device manager it says it is working fine. But when you put a disk in and try clicking on the floppy drive icon, it says please insert disk. And I dont think its becasue the disks are locked. What is the problem with the floppy?
 
Check the cable is attached correctly and not the wrong way round.
Make sure power is plugged into the drive.

Ok i unpluggedthe cables and plugged them back in, and it looks like you can only plug them in the one way, and now since turning on the comptuer, the green light that comes on when it is reading the disk, is staying on constantly. And still wont detect any disk:confused:
 
The light staying on is exactly what happens if the cable is fitted the wrong way round
It looks like they have put a cable in the system that has the connector on the wrong way round or the cable has been connected the wrong way round on the motherboard.

Check to see if you can fit the cable the other way round on the motherboard.
