Hi,

I have a problem with the floppy drive on my laptop.  Whenever I insert a
disk and go to explore it in My Computer I get the message saying "Please
insert a disk in drive a" as if I haven't inserted a disk, and the drive
keeps making noises as if it's trying to read the disk but not being able
to.  I pushed the disk in firmly just as usual.

Has anyone got any ideas what could have gone wrong?  How can I go about
trying to figure out what the problem is?

I know nothing about how floppy drives work and am next to useless in
understanding hardware in general so any idiot's guide type answers would be
ok.  At the same time I learn quickly, am good at tinkering am short of
money so if I can sort out the problem myself that would be far preferable
than having to send my precious baby away somewhere!

Thanks,
Catherine
