240573 2004-05-31 04:18:00 Could someone tell me why,when I insert a floppy disc,with files on it,all the computer wants to do is format the disc.All I want to do is see and use the files that are on it.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Hook.

240574 2004-05-31 04:28:00 If Windows is offering to format the disks, that means it doesn't think the disk has a proper file structure. That might mean the floppy is in another OS's format, or that it's a DOS format one which has been clouted. ;-) Graham L (2)

it's the first time for me with floppys and I was treating them like a cd.I'll get back to the person I received them from to find out more about what system they are for.
