Floppy drive not working properly

I think it's clear by now Windows XP has a problem with floppies.

Ofcourse a floppy disk can be corrupted, a drive can be defective or a
cable not connected the right way but the number of floppy problems I
have read about when all this is not applicable should be alarming
enough to awake MS.

One other fact may sometimes play a role however.
Floppy Disk is Not Accessible, Not Formatted, or Not Recognized by Windows
