i have a floppy disk drive that has worked fine for a
couple of months. recently though it wont accept any
floppy disks and keeps on coming up with a message that
they are not formatted,when they are. the disks work fine
on other computers. i was wondering if there is any
solution to this.
any help would be appreciated.
 
Might try a floppy head cleaning diskette. Have not seen
any since the DOS days when we had drives A: and B:
 
I have seen the same problem and am living with it daily on my machine
(winXP pro). There is some issues with floppies and NT. It has nothing to do
with the drive, it is something in the operating system that Microsoft has
not been able to pin down. I have talked to a vendor that supplies floppy
disk keys for their software. They acknoledge the problem, have not been
able to get Microsoft to solve it and so they are trying to find a way
around it. No luck yet.
