i have a problem formatting floppy discs with xp when i
insert a disc i get the message disc not formatted do you
want to format the disc when i press yes it says that it
can not format the disc the disc is not write protected i
can format the disc with 98se and use it with xp i need
some help here thank you all
 
It seems that XP looks for tighter tolerances from floppy
drives. An older drive with either a bent arm or wear
doesn't work as well.

I have not had problems with my computer, built last year
with a new floppy drive.
