Are you the only user of your PC? If not, this may help.
Follow these steps to enable floppy disk access in Recovery Console:

Launch the Group Policy console (Gpedit.msc).
Click Computer Configuration, open Windows Settings | Security Settings |
Local Policies and double-click Security Options.
Locate and double-click the Recovery Console: Allow Floppy Copy And Access
To All Drives And Folders policy setting.
Select the Enabled option button and click OK.
Exit the Group Policy console.
Launch Recovery Console.
At the command Prompt, type the following command and press [Enter]:
set allowremovablemedia = true

Note: Floppy disk access is disabled by default for security reasons and
removing this restriction can be considered a breach of operating system
security. As such, you may want to reverse this change at a later date.
