Floppy drive doesn't read disks
Okay. This is odd. My floppy drive won't read any floppy disk. It did before, no problem. Recently had a fiasco occur and had to format c and reinstall everything. Now, a won't read crap. The computer clearly recognizes the a drive, and thinks it has no problems. I'm on XP Pro, the wires aren't crossed, and the disks work on other computers. It's a beige sony floppy drive, I can't locate new drivers for it anywhere. Please help. Thank you.

Use cleaning disk. If it fails, it must be broken. Probably the reading head parts whereabouts.
