Default opening a file on a floppy disk

when i try to open a file that i have saved on a floppy disk i get the
message Folder 'A:\*,*' isn't accessible. the folder may be located in an
unavailable location, protected with a password, or the file name contains a
/ or \. Any one can help me? thanks

Default opening a file on a floppy disk

Never save a file directly to a floppy nor should open a file still on a
floppy. Copy the file to your hard drive - then open that file...if you
haven't already corrupted it.

You've never copied a file to your hard drive before?

It says Win 98 but the steps are the same for later versions of windows.
