You should not open a Word document directly from removable media
(floppy disk, CD, etc.). Doing so will likely corrupt the Word file or
the media itself. Instead, you should copy the Word file to your hard
drive, edit the file there, and then copy the modified file back to the
removable media.

I have a formatted disk that I have been using for quite some time and now
the computer won't let me open it. I keep getting a msg that says the disk
is not formatted or may have been made for a Mac. I have windows XP and
using Office 2003.
