I have 1 dvdrw, 1 cdrw, 1 card reader, 2 hard drives, and 1 floppy, the floppy never shows up mounted or unmounted

[Tsmgroup2]

Running a dual core amd 64 bit machine with a total of six different drives plus printer and 4 gig of ram memory.
I know you guys and gals are busy, I apologize for this, but I thought you should know that my floppy drive doesn't show up under this operating system yet, I've also noticed that under Xubuntu 8.10 that the same type of floppy drive 3.5 inch, doesn't show up under the desktop or the mounted drives panel on the window bar either top or bottom either.
Its a general issue, I can tell. Previous version of Xubuntu 8.04 or earlier ran okay with floppy support, however, Ubuntu has not been able to run with this many drives as of yet.
Can these be fixed?

Thank you to everyone involved in advance.
This dual core machine is using the Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy LTS version,
I had been using the AMD64 version but have lost it on my other hard drive somewhere, thanks
to a windows xp home edition install..
Sorry
