Default floppy drive problem

My Win98SE can no longer access the A: Drive floppy disk.
I have replaced the ribbon cable, used two new (refurb)
Teac drives from Dell parts, deleted the controller and
redetected it and still the same problem. The drive
whirrs went I try to access it thru Windows Explorer and I
get the following message "A:\ is not accessible. The
device is not ready" If I attempt to use the Send to:
Floppy command; I get the whirring sound and the following
message "There is no disk in drive A. Insert a disk and
try again."
Device manager says both the controller and Generic floppy
disk are working properly with no conflicts. Help please
from anyone with a similar situation.
