so i haven't been using floppies since like 2005. because...well theres no POINT since i have flash drives. So today i see a green floppy,dusty, i insert it in my computer, locate it from my computer, click it, then BAM, Restricted.

Don't get me wrong, im not trying to 'bypass' something here, i am the only account active and i am an administrator. I think this could of been from a virus because, well i have a huge history of viruses and all the malacious stuff. I have done some GOOD GOOGLING, all though its almost 1 am over here so im not the most focused person.

Any help\response is greatly appreciated!Maybe it wasn't your floppy to begin with and the documents were and are protected?maybe. but i just tried a few. all have the same effect, tried with and without the lock switch.All that the lock switch is for is for write protection.  It prevents you from writing to a protected floppy.

If these disks are yours and the drive itself isn't bad, it could be as simple as taking ownership of the files.hm, i think something might has happened to the drive, im no genius when it comes to hardware and all that, so im not going to make any big 'its probably blah'. but i think it might be a screw up in my registry restricting me, but that ends because i cannot format a floppy either. SHOWS disk error for any disk i use.

well heres the error anyway

[attachment deleted by admin]That sounds more like restrictions than a bad drive.

Anyway, I just found out I'm an uncle, gotta go, have fun, k bye.  congratulations!
