drop into BIOS by hitting f1,f2, or del on boot...go through the menus looking for LEGACY USB...is it enabled or disabled?
set it to enabled.
Please post model and make of PC if it does not work now.
Its a Dell Dimension 2400. I actually already checked that out also in the BIOS and it is enabled. I also went into computer manager and actually deleted all the USB ports then restarted so it would refresh them because I have done that before with another machine and that did the trick but not in this case. Do you have any other suggestions. Thats so much for your help I wasn't by no means trying to be rude earlier I know you guys busy and like I said I appreciate all your guys help, thanks

Various communication errors may occur, including device initialization and device not found errors.
Some Dell computers do not provide enough voltage from the USB ports to power some USB devices.
Dell recommends purchasing a powered USB hub to provide the USB devices with enough power to operate correctly. A USB keyboard with built in hub is not a solution and can worsen this problem.
Dell Inspiron 2650 has a known issue with the onboard O2Micro cardbus controller. Problems with cards attached to the controller are resolved by a patch found here

That's what I found with a quick search. It may or may not be related to your problem though. I'll do some more research...

Dell has stated in Dell knowledge base document FA1021802, that a USB device such as a scanner or printer may not be detected or function correctly when connected to the USB port of a Dell Latitude or Inspiron PC (it may occur on other models as well).

I will give the patch a try and see what happens. Even though I am using a Dell Dimension should it matter. Because I actully took the same floppy drive and plugged it into another Dell Dimension 2400 and it it worked fine, thats why I'm kind of dumb founded on why it wont work on this machine. Thanks
