Default Floppy drive won't recognise disks - help?

Hi!

Maybe it's me, but it is far easier to replace a floppy
drive than to disassemble it. Cleaning out dust and
dirt inside a floppy drive sometimes works, too...

I get the feeling you handle a lot more computer equipment than I
do. :-)

It depends upon what day of the week it is--bright and early on a
Monday morning (maybe) I'm much more inclined to crack open a drive
and work on it. On Friday afternoon, probably not so much.

I'm also inclined to do what I can to keep things out of the
Dumpster...my "other job" *is* dumpster diving and trashpicking.
