| 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) | ||
