Thank you both for your help!
What could be out of adjustment that would prevent my floppy from ejecting? I read Mike the Kraken's "Diskette drive in a Plus doesn't even attempt to eject" post from May 2014 (sorry, can't paste the link on this Surface) and it seemed that the motor that drives the smallest gear needs to be able to rotate, and if it doesn't that means it seized? Is that right?
Is the spinning noise the sound of a disk rotating? Shouldn't it have given me a screen message asking if I wanted to format it, or is that only possible after system software is loaded?
Sorry, sometimes I get more confused before I get un-confused!!!
