This isn't enough information to get a specific answer. Does the light
on the floppy drive go on when you first turn on the computer? Is the
drive seen in the BIOS before the operating system loads? If not, open
the case and reseat the ribbon cable connector and the power connector
(while the computer is OFF, of course). If the drive is still not being
seen by the computer, try replacing it with a new floppy drive. If the
drive is seen in the BIOS but just not in Windows, please repost with
more details.

First step is to tell your bios you have one. Or make sure it's set to
see one.
