Format Floppy Disk
I have ALOT of floppy disks that have important information on them but everytime i put them in, my computer asks if i want to format them. and if i click yes, it says that the disk cannont be formatted. My A Drive got screwed up a long time ago and my dad fixed it about a year ago. Does anyone know why it is doing this? I really need the information on those disks and i cant get to them! Help Please! Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
First, try another computer. If the disks work in another computer, then you know your computer has a problem. It could be a drive error, or a communication problem. If it doesn't work and the other computer won't recognize what is on the disks, it is possible that they got screwed up when your drive was screwed up. That has happened to me before. I still don't know how to fix it. I have lost pics that way.
In the future, save to your hard drive as well as to disk or cd. If I have something really important, I put it in a few places, sometimes emailing it to myself as well as saving it. I know that doesn't help much now, but it will keep this from being a problem again in the future.

Maybe you should stop living in the early fucking 90's.
