Yes, you can change the floppy drive but you'll have to take apart the whole laptop.

If you have no experience taking fixing laptop, I wouldn't recommend trying it.

But if you still want to try it, I'll post a link with Toshiba laptop disassembly guides so you can try.

How do you install an internal floppy disc drive into a laptop?

Most modern laptops do not have space for a floppy drive internally, so this is impossible on them. If you have an old laptop that has space for a floppy drive internally, it probably already has one so you don't need to install one. However if that existing internal floppy drive has failed you will have to replace it (assuming you can find a floppy drive to replace it with). To replace the existing internal floppy drive you will need the manufacturer's documents on how to open the laptop's case, get access to the floppy drive, and swap out the old one and replace it with the new one. This will almost certainly require special tools (e.g. torx drivers, wrenches) that you don't already have and will need to buy if you don't already frequently do such work.

You can access the hard drive from the bottom of the laptop. If you turn the laptop upside down, you'll find the hard drive door under the Toshiba sticker with the laptop serial number. Remove two screws from the hard drive cover and then remove the cover. Slide the hard drive to the right and remove it. Transfer the hard drive bracket to a new hard drive.

DO you have to change drive type for floppy in bios?

Yes, in the BIOS settings, you may need to change the drive type for a floppy disk if you are using a floppy disk drive. This involves configuring the settings to ensure the BIOS correctly recognizes the type of floppy drive connected, such as 3.5" or 5.25". If you're not using a floppy drive, you can usually disable it in the BIOS to improve boot times and resource allocation.

A number of possibilities here: Have you tried in all USB ports? Have you tried the drive in another computer? I know on my Toshiba Laptop, if I plug the flash drive in B4 I power up, it doesn't read it, but if I remove the drive and then plug it back in it works (while machine is running)
