The floppy disk drive does NOT use an IDE cable. It uses a floppy disk cable. How did you connect an IDE cable to the floppy drive?

Carefully clean any dust out of the drive, and make sure there is nothing jammed in there preventing the head from moving. Check that the FLOPPY cable is connected properly and is not damaged.
