I've bought a new 250gb hard drive but for some reason my floppy drive wont work. Ive tried 2 different leads and 3 different floppy drives, and 9 different disks and just cant work out whats wrong ?!?!

It keeps coming up that the disk needs formatting so I say Yes and then it says disk cannot be formatted ?!?!?!

Anyone have any ideas ?!

When I did the original install a few years ago I kept a copy of the sata rivers on disk but this doesn't work either ?!

Anyone know a simple way of using a usb drive to install the sata drivers ?!?!
