options to trouble shoot (you pick the order):

-if the floppy shares a cable with a (say) hard drive or CD/DVD put it
on its own cable (or unhook the other device)

-plug the floppy drive cable into the other IDE slot on the motherboard

-replace the floppy drive cable and try again

-replace the floppy drive and try again

-replace the floppy drive and cable and try again

-replace the motherboard and try again

-replace the operating system and try again

-(there may be others, i’m “shooting from the hip”)

a definitive answer to “What is broken?” will not be reached until
success is found…
