If the disk cannot, indeed, be read from Windows, this is a problem. The
problem reading the disk may or may not be just from within Word. The OP
indicates that another computer can read it. The problem begins, though,
with using Word with anything on removable media.

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.

Which brings you back to the OP's problem: if he/she cannot access the
disk, it is impossible to "copy the Word file to your hard drive, edit
the file there, and then copy the modified file back to the removable
media."


Blessed be, for sure...
