floppy drive installation problems

[Guest]

I installed a floppy drive on my computer running Vista. My bios is showing
the drive but when I boot up into Vista, it's not showing the drive. I've
installed it, removed it and did all of the tinkering I can think of
including looking for drivers but it won't show the drive. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Does Device Manager show the drive or the floppy drive controller?

No... Device manager doesn't show the drive. I know it works because I
pulled it from my old system.

Hi Jeff,

Does Add Hardware in the Control Panel detect it?

If not, then there is a problem with the drive being reported by the system
BIOS, and you may need to recheck settings there.
