I was installing a new Floppy Drive when I got the following message: "Seek Error Reading Drive A" What can cause the message or what is wrong with the Drive?

Was there a formatted disk in the drive when you got the error?
If so, the drive may be bad.

If not, if you access the drive with no disk in it, the first thing that happens is that it tries to seek (look for) the fat on the floppy.

Several things could be wrong. The new floppy drive could be bad. The cable from the motherboard to the floppy drive could be loose. The floppy disk could be bad.
