Solve : winxp home says all floppy disks are not formatted? |
|
Answer» COMPAQ p3, 550hz, winxp home This a.m. it will not read floppy disks that it read last night. Same message: disk is not formatted. Most disks have msword files. I am assuming that proceeding with formatting the disk will wipe the disk. Any ideas? thanks for a GREAT forum. RossIt's LIKELY that the floppy drive itself is dirty or worn. As floppy cleaners are now virtually non-existent, replacement would probably be the easiest and cheapest option. If you WANT the data, do not format the diskettes.The floppy drive was filthy. Boy, do I FEEL stupid. Thank you for the tip. A month ago I had cleaned out the computer, but I forgot to check the floppy drive. Sheezh, what a dummy. |
