Faulty Floppy Disk Drive?

[DBAlex]

Hi, i recently took my amiga aparrt to clean away dust and to see how hard a hard drive installation would be, after I put it back together i never tested it...

I got it out today to test it and it boots up fine and shows the insert disk screen, when i put a disk in it starts to load it (screen changes to just purple) and then stops and goes back to insert disk screen!

Is this due to a faulty disk drive? if so then its an easy repair...

or something more serious?

thanks for any help!  :-?

ok, thanks, ill try that first then, when i blew into it a lot of dust came out of it! (its stored under my bed atm)

Ill try that program... Can i use the program instead of buying a cleaner or is it supposed to be used with a headcleaner?

anyway ill try and buy one.
