Floppy drive not installed?

[Steve]

I have just upgraded win ME to win XP Professional but
for some reason appear to have lost the ability to use
the floppy drive. Windows can detect this but describes
it as not installed. Does anyone have any idea why this
might be happening and how I can fix this?

Try going to the device manager and updating the drivers for your floppy
drive.

Hi there Steve,

Delete fikters from registry, download fix from here:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts/xp_cd_dvd_fix.vbs

Usage: Download file to your computer and simply
double-click it so that it would automatically get
installed. Norton anti-virus software might warn you of
a "malicious" script, this is normal if you have "Script
Safe" or similar technology enabled.
I recommend you to choose "Authorize entire script" option
next Action.
