That's for the best idea.
For the floppy icon, you could watch out if the system detected the
device by looking in the /etc/fstab file:
$cat /etc/fstab

You should find one line as this one:
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
.....
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

If the problem is still present after installing, you might check the
hardware: the connectors inside the Central Unity. It happens to move
very slightly, sometimes. Or even changing the cable.
Best greetings, J.Markoll.
