There are two small black phillips screws near where the cable is, take those out. The opposite side from the screws is the cover, it pries off. You can work a flat tip screwdriver in there and see if you can pop it off without damage. Start on the sides.

If you're having trouble with that you can remove the rubber piece going around the outside first. I started where the floppy opening is, you can pry it out with a small flat tip screwdriver then just pull it out. Do the same for both sides of floppy opening.

Then you'll have to take the phillips screw by the motor to remove the drive from the case. There is another small phillips screw holding the cover, remove that and you can work the cover off. Now you can clean the heads.

To put it back together screw the drive cover back on, then screw it back into the case. Put the rubber piece in, then push the top cover back down till it snaps in. Then put the black screws back.

SOURCE: need vista driver for FD-05PUB teac usb floppy drive

After an agonizing hour of searching, I found this solution.
Unlike Windows XP, Win Vista lacks the generic drivers for USB devices.
So the workaround is to copy the XP USB drivers into your Vista system32\inf folder.

1.Specifically, google for these two winXP files:

usbstor.inf
usbstor.sys

2. download and save them into your windows\system32\inf folder

3. Pop in your device and allow the drivers to be searched manually and point to the above location.

Presto! The usb device now works fine!

A great step backward from Vista to XP if you ask me!

The USB Floppy Drive shouldn't require drivers under Windows XP (according to TEAC, here: http://goo.gl/BvTcV).
Make sure your Windows XP installation is completely up to date, as Windows Updates often contain driver updates as well as system updates. If this still doesn't work (or your system is already completely updated), there are some additional troubleshooting options here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283658.

Try a brand new disk put something on it and go from there the disk you may be using may be no good anymore. Try this first before getting another replacement disk I would stop using these floppy and go to a USB Stick for storage purposes since they are going obsolete. Just a suggestion! That would solve your problem using floppies for storage besides they do not hold much information compared to todays storage devices. John
