I have a TEAC FD-05PUB USB Floppy Drive which was working with Windows 7.
Now with Windows 10, the Floppy Drive is 'seen' by the system and has installed the SONY-FDU USB Device and its states that 'This Device is working Properly'.
Right click it and select update driver software. Next select browse my computer for driver software. Select let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Highlight show all devices and click next. Next on the left hand side, select NEC Systems, and then on the right select NEC USB Floppy. Automation the game. Yes USB Floppy Drive will work with Windows 10 as i have no problems with my floppy drives.When you plug the floppy drive in pc usb port the familiar device setup box will appear at bottom of desktop screen.when this is finished it will be ok to use.
However, when I insert a floppy, the Floppy Drive tries to continually read the disk as if there is a fault with the disk. I have tried several disks and non are recognised. Before anybody asks, I have tried these disks on another machine and they work OK.
When I remove the disk from the Floppy Drive, the Floppy Drive still seems to want to access the disk even though there is not one in the drive - the green light on the front of the drive turns on repeatedly and you can hear the motor spin. Sounds like an issue with the SONY driver to me.

I have tried to look for a suitable driver on the web but am a bit dubious about some of the sites that come up. I have even tried to get Windows to load a different driver but I'm unable to get a list of Floppy Drives to appear when I ask to do an 'Update Driver Software' within Device Manager.
Anybody any ideas on what to do next?
