Floppy Drive Issue

Name: notbob !5sT5ZXfRM6 2005-12-28 1:35

Let me see if I can describe my problem correctly.  I have a floppy drive in my computer.  I am running Windows XP SP2.  I cannot read floppies under Windows XP.  I can boot from floppies (like my PQMagic Rescue Floppy or Windows 98 Boot Floppy), but I cannot read floppy disks under Windows XP.  It says "this disk is not formatted."  Does anybody know what can cause this under Windows XP?  I have tried swapping floppy drives and cables, reinstalled XP, but I have the same issue.  Can anybody help?

-Uninstall from Device Manager
-Reseat ribbon
-Buy a new drive (5 dollars at New Egg)

Don't change these.
