How to re-enable my floppy drive

Mr. Flibble · 2004-12-15 10:44:04

Hi. The powers that be at my work have disabled the floppy drive on my computer. How do they do this, and more importantly, how would I go about undoing this? Tnx

Probably can't, unless you can open your machine to make sure everything is connected properly. Which I doubt you can do discreetly.
