I recently helped a friend with a floppy problem. His

he bought a new one from CompUSA. It didn't work. Two other
geeks looked at it before me with no success. I tried to read
a floppy, noticed the errors and lights, etc. then pulled the drive,
found the slide switch on the side and changed it from 0 to 1.
Don't assume drives are set to unit 1 at the factory.
Same as don't assume that a hard drive is set to single drive on system
either. I've had brand new ones set as master, slave and even factory
test.
