Default Floppy drive not working

I bought my pc about 2 years ago from ibuypower.com and it came with a floppy drive. I just tried using it for the first time, and it says, "Please insert a disk into drive A." The disks I am using are totally fine, they've worked in the past. There are no other errors associated with the drive, and the drivers appear to be up to date. Is it time to try a new floppy? If so, what brand?

Default Re: Floppy drive not working

Hi if it has not been used for a while you may need to put a floppy head cleaner through it this should fix the problem you can get them at most PC stores.
