My floppy drive does not show in My Computer. It is there in device manager and if I select search on boot from my bios the floppy drive green light comes on. I have checked the cable connections and the power lead and both are connected as they should be. This is after an install of Vista x64. Any ideas?
 
Don't take this the wrong way - but it would be good to rule it out!

Is this a clean & legal install of Vista? One of older version of one the tool commonly used to activate Vista by not-so-legal means does break the floppy drive, causing Windows not to show it.
 
Hey Bony Maloney, if you open "Device Manager" up and then completely uninstall your Floppy disk drive. Once you have done that, then uninstall the Floppy drive controller. Now go to the "Action" menu and press "Scan for hardware changes". :)
