I'm currently using Windows 98se.
It is detecting the normal 3 1/2 floppy drive but always
comes up with a message that the device isn't ready and if
i would like to re-try. I click on re-try and it repeats
the message. I have tried different disks that work on
other computers so i presume is the drive rather than the
disks.
Also I've switched the computer off and inset the boot up
disk, but when it boots up it it loads windows straight
away and doesn't give me the error prompt about theres a
disk in the drive.

Is it a case of replacing the Driver it selt
or..............

I look forward to your replys.
