First, check via bios setup that the floppy disk drive
is enabled. Second, if it cannot read a pre-formatted
floppy diskette, either bought new or formatted on a
known, working computer, then replace the floppy disk
drive. Do not reformat the floppy diskettes without
retrieving the data; formatting will delete the saved
data.
