How do you remove CD drive from dell inspiron 2200?

Flip the laptop over so that the rubber feet are facing up. Remove the screw in the center of the laptop with the picture of a lock near it. This is the only thing keeping the cdrom drive from sliding out of the laptop. If it doesn't come out easily, you may need to power up the laptop, open up the cdrom tray, power off the laptop (while the cdrom tray is still open) then repeat procedure above - however, you'll now have the cdrom tray to use as a handle to pull out the entire cdrom drive.

How would I connect an internal 3.5 Floppy disk drive to a motherboard that doesn't have a ribbon cable connector?

Use an external USB floppy drive. If you MUST have internal.... if you're good and creative you -might- be able to disassemble an external USB floppy drive and mount it like an internal drive. Alternatively, you could hunt down an old LS-120 "superdisk" drive. Its an IDE drive (40 pin connector, like your hdd or cdrom) that reads floppies (in addition to high-capacity proprietary disks)
