Hi Scott,

I have had floppy drives die mostly from hardware reasons. I would 
suggest that you swap the drive with one that is know to work works. I 
always keep a couple in my stock for that reason.If you need a new one 
maybe the hosef group has some. If you have to buy one try IC supply by 
the airport that have them for under $10.

Good luck.
