| 145274 | 2003-05-17 21:40:00 | Sorry I also want to get some photo's put on to a floppy disc so I can e-mail them to my friends but when I put the disc in and go on to my A drive it tells me its not formatted and will not let me format it???? | multi (3822) | ||
| 145275 | 2003-05-17 21:53:00 | Make sure that the disc is not "write protected". ie hole in the corner must be covered. Bye |

| 145276 | 2003-05-17 21:56:00 | Thanks for that there are 2 square holes one is covered the other is open do I have to cover that? | multi (3822) | ||
| 145277 | 2003-05-17 21:58:00 | can you read floppies ? possibility is that the floppy drive has been listed wrongly in the bios...... when you start the puter look for somethign that says somethign like 'to enter setup press 'del ' ................ do that then in the bios screen check that your floppy is listed as a 1.44 meg etc...... |

| 145278 | 2003-05-17 22:06:00 | The formatting windaow has popped up saying capacity 1.44 Mb(3.5") format type quick (erase),,full and copy system files only when I press start it tells me that my capacity does not match or that there is no disc inserted!! | multi (3822) | ||
| 145279 | 2003-05-17 22:31:00 | It is possible that the disc has deteriorated & it's no longer any good. I had a sealed box of unused 3 1/2 " flopppys recently that were purchased from a garage sale & every disc failed when I tried to put files on them. Yet some old discs I have work fine. Have you tried to run scandisk on the floppy disc? Perhaps you should try some other floppys to rule out your A:\ Drive or try your disc in another computer. Cheers Steve |

| 145280 | 2003-05-17 22:36:00 | yea I think thats it. It was one that my boss in the UK put my CV on about 6 months ago. I thought it was proberbly because it was a UK 1 that it wasnt compatable here. All i want to do is to load some pic on it and send them to me mates in the UK. Cheers Steve :) | multi (3822) | ||
| 145281 | 2003-05-17 22:45:00 | Hey Multi, There's another way, email them ;) | Steve Askew (119) | ||
| 145282 | 2003-05-17 22:47:00 | I dont have a scanner yet though. | multi (3822) | ||
| 145283 | 2003-05-17 22:51:00 | yea I think thats it. It was one that my boss in the UK put my CV on about 6 months ago. I thought it was proberbly because it was a UK 1 that it wasnt compatable here. Just a thought ,Is it possible the disk was created on an APPLE MAC? I think Mac floppys arn't compatible with PC's, I could be wrong Cheers Steve |
