Solve : floppy drive - disk not formatted?

Answer»

Floppy drive consistently boots with win 98 BOOT disk but all other disks give Disk not formatted message.  Replaced A drive and cable - same results.  Floppy disks can be read on another machine before and after TRYING them on this machine.  HOPE someone can help.ps  
 
I can boot from the emergency boot disk, change to drive c, and dir a:   works FINE. I get a listing of the files on the boot diskette.  When I put another disk in, I get a "data reading error drive a" .  After aborting that task, i switch disks and again can do a dir listing of the boot disk.http://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/comp/fdd/errorsRead-c.html   read more..fred masek....Perhaps it would help if you told us what it is your trying to do ...and what operating system are you using.

please LET us know
