It's for XP, but apparently the same problem can affect Vista. (I haven't

The only trouble I've had with floppy drives is when the cable is reversed.
(The drive light stays lit continuously.) I presume that's not your problem,
but I wish that the makers would key floppy drives like IDE ones.
Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.
