Lucky,

What driver are you using in the Device
Manager?
If you have the plain vanilla floppy drive,
make sure you have the Standard Floppy Disk
Controller driver installed.

If all looks good there, you have a couple
other possibilities.
Check the ribbon cable and connections very
close for nicks, bent pins, misaligned pins
or what ever.
Finally, check the power connector for a bad
connection.
If you are still fruitless, suspect a
defective drive. Try a swap from another
system or take the drive back to be tested.
