Hi Mardy,

Here are some possible causes:
Faulty Floppy Drive.
Floppy cable not connected correctly, of disconnected.
Incorrect CMOS settings.
Faulty floppy drive controller.
 
Shut down
Disconnect Floppy cables
Reboot into safe mode
remove floppy in system properties
Reboot
Shut down
Reconnect both cables ( power & data)
Reboot
 
You have a hardware problem! Because it is the least expensive, remove and
reinsert the cables to your floppy drive - both ends please. If no help
replace the ribbon cable.

If still no joy you have either a power problem or a faulty drive!

The drive may be starting to go bad. They're cheap, if you need one, or easy
to just disconnect if you don't.
