"My computer" does not recognize my floppy drive and very frequently the
following message comes up " no disk in Drive-retry -- continue -- cancel".
And if I insert a floppy into the drive it does not work. However, if I
create a shortcut on my desktop to the floppy drive, then I can get it to
work when I insert a floppy disc. So, obviously, the problem is not in the
drive itself or in its connections, but rather in that Windows XP doesn't
recognize it for some reason. Any suggestions?
