Hey Mike, I too had a problem with my floppy drive once. The little green light on front of tower was staying lit at all times. After many hairs being pulled out and countless hours at looking inside tower, checking cable connections, rebooting, etc...I finally found that I had plugged the cable onto the floppy upside down (not the power one, the other). And this was after telling my sister that it wasn't possible to plug it in upside down. Boy did I feel like a big dork. If for any reason you had un-plugged it and plugged it back in, this could have happened. After I turned it right-side-up, it worked perfectly.
jstmel :o)
