    Hi! While at my day program today, I was using my USB floppy drive there, and it was working at first then stopped recognizing my media. Restarting the system helped for a few minutes, but then the drive stopped appearing in This PC. :( I might need a new drive, but I should test it on my home computer first. I'm waiting for a gift card from my mother, but she reported that she can't find it.

    It seems to be working on my home computer. :) Maybe it's the computer.
