Floppy disc drive
I have a Dell Vista comp. I installed an external floppy drive holder, as I have quite a few discs with material on.
It works fine, but I find that I cannot load any programmes from my dell comp to the floppy drive. any suggestions Coolwill.

Get a USB pen drive like this:

They are smaller, faster, less prone to error, and hold MUCH more data.
Sugget you move all the files off your floopy disks onto there.
Most PCs and laptops are supplied without a floppy drive and as webdude says, there is almost no reason to use a floppy drive any more (unless you have some particular need to boot into DOS).
