I just plugged in a old Samsung SFD-321J/adnr which is a floppy drive. I can't find any drivers online and it isn't automatically shown on "my computer" someone tell me what I have to do as I desperately have to get some work off onto a floppy disk!!!!

Floppy drives dont need drivers. Try turning on floppy function in BIOS.

Yeah lol, Floppy drives have been Plug n' Play since Windows 3.1 lol. Actually they always have been. As Peter said, enable it in the BIOS.

Why Floppy's though?!?
