Floppy Drive Module Won't Read Disk
I have a Dell XPS SP 3. Recently I hooked up the FD-05PUB reader that came with the computer. The computer recognized the hardware ( floppy disk in A drive), but it is not reading any of my 3.5 disks. Any suggestions? Regards, Jeff Zimmerman

Floppy support is becoming spotty these days.
Some drives have issues with some floppies. Can you format and then read a blank floppy in the drive?
If so it might be a formatting issue.
Also try it on a different PC and see if it works there. That would indicate a possible driver issue.
