I have a Windows 95 laptop of Toshiba Satellite 225CDS, where can I get the external floppy for this kind of laptop? Does it detect as drive A: or drive B: when plugged in?

Most versions of 95 do not support usb devices.make sure you get one that suports 95 and that you have usb suported version of 95.
I would get one that uses the orinter port.
No sir I don't like it!

It is not USB, it is a vintage port of external floppy. Also, does this work for the Toshiba?

Those are internal drives with no adapter. They tend to have proprietary connectors and shapes. If the laptop has a parallel port, perhaps a parallel floppy drive or something like this?

It has a parallel cable adapter for it, mentioned on the page. At the moment, there's one pair on ebay in the US.

The internal floppy drive model of the Toshiba laptop is EME279TD, if only I can find this model somewhere.

You could always use a floppy drive that hooks to a PCMCIA card. I think it depends on if the BIOS has support for PCMCIA drive controllers as to whether you can boot off of them though.
Is the internal floppy broken?
