If the light is on continuously it usually means you've put the floppy cable the wrong way round - it doesnt break anything in itself, but the OS wont be able to use it. If it doesnt work the other way round it still could be a broken cable or controller - not much help really but at least you can tell whether you've got the cable around the right way :-)
