strange problem with 3,5" drive

[m@ck]

hi,

since this morning i have a strange problem with the 3.5 disk drive
it doesnt recognize new disks
when i insert a disk nothing happens except the message "insert disk"
strange is that used disks work fine
the disks themselves are fine too; i checked them on another computer

can someone please help?

thanks a lot in advance
best regards

time to get a new disk, not worth the hassle of messing with it, u can get one for less than 15 bucks.

u might want to try one thing first, make sure the connections are connected good.

before buying one, i'd disconnect and reconnect the ribbon cable for the floppy. once you realize this was a useless and futile tip, then go to the store and get one. }:>

thanks for responding iceman38 and taurus
but i thought it was a software problem
cause it works fine with used disks
and its only 4 months old, so still in warrenty

thanks anyway
