http://www.computerhope.com/help/floppy.htm    an ide cable can be purchase from most pc stores  for a few pennys type ver in the msdos prompt   so the command looks like this c:\windows ver           it will give you what you have like win95/98 etc...

unscrew the case.*caution is needed if unsure leave it*..unplug it from the main power supply...connect the ide cable to the floppy drive and then to the motherboard...it will only fit on way....if unsure get your mate to do it..right -click on the my computer icon then click properties...this will display what version of windows you have..
