Troubleshoot Floppy Drives
Floppy drives used to be the only drives in a PC - now, we tend to forget about them unless we need to boot the PC in an emergency, or need to copy small files onto or install something from a floppy disk. An accumulation of dirt and dust, using dirty or malfunctioning floppy disks, and problems related to your CMOS or internal PC connections can all result in difficulties trying to use your floppy drive in any capacity.
