To the OP,
First the "joke answer" your subject is begging to get...try
Viagra if your floppy doesn't work.
Now for the problem with the floppy drive...
Open the computer and make sure that there drive cable (34
pin flat cable) is properly and securely inserted to the
mobo and drive. Also, make sure that the power lead is
securely connected to the drive. Boot the computer and make
sure that the A: drive is shown in the device manager and in
My Computer.
If it doesn't show, the drive is probably defective, you can
buy a new drive for about $10-20. If you have another
computer, just swap the floppy drives as a test.
