17216 2001-08-19 01:59:00 Windows ME reports that a floppy with important data on it is unformatted.
How can I retrieve the data from the disk?
Thanks,
Pat

Firstly try the floppy on another computer in case the system or A: isn't reading properly. Also do you have Norton or other type of 'Unerase'. Such utilities may be able to read & therefoere rescue your data. Guest (0)

Don't forget to throw away the disk after you recover the files.

17219 2001-08-21 01:25:00 go to www.cnet.com and search for a programme called winimage. It reads floppies and you can save an image of the floppy to your hard disk for safe keeping. I use it to get data from dodgy floppies Guest (0)
