What happens of pin 1 on the floppy drive data cable is not aligned with pin 1 on the drive connector?
The floppy drive will not work. Occasionally, an improperly installed cable will damage the drive electronics, but more often, the light on the front of the drive will stay on constantly, to indicate that something is wrong.
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.

3 of your floppy drives have stoped working at first they will display the message this floppy disk is not formated but later they will just say that the floppy drive is not ready and not read any dis?
Dont discount the idea that your disks may be bad. Floppy disks have been around a long time and disks which are more than a couple years old may no longer be readable. To test this theory, get some new floppies & format them with the new drive. Put some data on there & see if you can retrieve it. If this doesnt work, then yes, you probably have a bad floppy drive (or drives). Note, it is an easy mistake to make to put the ribbon cable on backwards. If the light on the drive comes on & stays on even when there is no disk, that is a sure sign that the ribbon cable is on backwards.

Which drive letter will the floppy drive have if installed in the middle connector?
So long as the floppy drive is set to cable select mode it will come up as B:\. Otherwise it will be be primary (A:\) or secondary (B:\) depending on jumper settings on the reverse of the drive. Make sure if fitting 2 floppy drives you have them set on different jumpers to each other or both are set to cable select mode or neither drive will work.
