JoAnn Paules,
Thanks for your response. The reason I thought otherwise was explained by
Jay F. I'm also wondering if I'm going to have the same problem with the A
drive I purchase that I've read some have had with Windows XP.

You have to format a floppy before you can use it. If there are files on
that floppy, it was formatted. Why do you think otherwise?

I recently bought a new computer with Windows XP. I am trying to get
documents that were copied onto a floppy disk that was not formatted. Can
this be done? If so how?
