My floppy drive, when I insert a diskette and click on it in My Computer, will just indefinitely read the disk and make the same pattern of noises over and over. If I remove the disk, after a few seconds it says "please insert a disk in drive a:". The boot up floppy seek in the BIOS works fine, it flashes the light and makes the normal sound, but once I'm in Windows, the drive won't work. The light doesn't stay on from bootup, the cables are hooked correctly as well as the power, etc. Anyone have any ideas of a software issue this might be? This is under Windows XP SP2. The disks I am trying to read work fine in all of my other machines.
