Isn't the old floppy that comes with fiGan 1.2 is better than this new fiGan2?

U either need 2 format the disk by going to my documents and 3 1/2 floppy, format. Or u may need 2 unlock the disk, trn disk over and on the end there will be a little unluck symbol, simply slide the little piece of plastic over.

If you have a floopy drive you can format it for a bootable disk. Go to your "my computer" and right click on the floppy drive and click on format. After that you can choose how to format it. Hope this helps. Thanks. Rock.

The disk space it saves is negligable.\n\nHowever, it makes your files more secure than the old fat system.

One of those old 3.5 disks? With my old computer, my A drive would sometimes give me that error because the disk was not completely pressed down in the slot. I would just push it in slightly until it began reading it. Try that. (I assume that the drive works? Like, it makes noises  as if it's trying to read the floppy. If it is totally quiet you might need to reinstall the drive or its driver by going to the Control Panel).

If it says that you should format it, this means that data on the disk has either been erased or damaged.  Assuming that you have a Windows operating system, you could try running Scandisk to recover the data, but I've never had much luck doing that on a floppy.  Good luck!

i handle procurement of computers for our company.  since last year all our new computers don't have floppy drives anymore.  what we did is to issue thumb drives or  flash drives to our employees.  the reason for the switch is thumb drives are more durable than floppy disk and they are impervious to a magnetic field.  you can't say the same w/ a floppy.  just run a magnet over a floppy the the data will be trash.  thumb drives are easier to carry & they hold a lot more data than floppies.  you can't even squeeze an ave. mp3 file in a floppy.\n\nfloppies are dead.  its time you also switch.

Just check the cables of the floppy disc that is in motherboard side. I think you just missed that side.\nThank you.

there may be something wrong with your floppy drive... it could also be that the drive might have been renamed???\n\nDrive A is a floppy disk... You must still have a very old hrad disk system or that you habe an external A drive... Nowadays, ppl use USB portable...

The floppy is being prepared for use, beause sometime ago before you use a floppy you first have to format it (prepare it) for use and the other hand a Mac format floppy will not work on an IBM PC, so formatting id just a type of preparation.

you seem rather obsessed with your "floppy"....hmm....but working with computers? yea, i'd do it. working with your floppy? eh...no thanks. hehe

Hi there:\n\nI answer this question all the time.\n\nHERE is a complete copy and paste of the last ANSWER I gave, which has all the information you need. As you state, you DO NOT WANT to format or scandisk or defrag, or anything that touches the tracks on your floppy !\n\nSEE below:\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@\n\nI lost my data I saved on floppy?\n\nI saved some email messages on a floppy disc and brought it home from work and went to look at them on my computer at home and when I tried to open the floppy it said disco not formatted would you like to format now yes no. Have I lost my data? What should I do?\nAdditional Details\n\nthey are no longer in my email. just on floppy. If i take it back to work will it work there it did the other day.\n\nBest Answer - Chosen by Asker\n\nHi there:\n\nYou have probably NOT lost any data.\nFloppy copy and read problems are VERY common, and people have forgotten how to use them and maintain them.\n\nI looked at the two other answers before mine. The first states that you lost everything. _ WRONG !!\nThe second states that you are using a different operating system ( WRONG -- a floppy is a floppy is floppy unless you are using a MAC vs PC, and even you would be smart enough to know that they are different !)\n[[ Another rare situation is where you are using an OLD, 3 1/4 inch floppy on one machine, and a "new" 3 1/4 inch floppy drive on another machine, since the DRIVES Themselves, are different FORMATS ( the operating systems ( DOS, WIndows would be the same, and understand both formatting systems, but the mechanical heads and tracks are different ! ) There a dozens of different Floppy read/writers, and different FORMATs and sizes. The first IBM PC shipped with no harddrive, no floppy, and 16K of ram. There was a big DIN plug identical to the old keyboard plug, that you plugged in a cable that went to your Audio Cassette player, to load programs.. Then came the full height, single sided, low density, 5 1/2 inch floppy, then the high density, then the low density, two sided floppy, then the two sided High density floppy. Then all of these were replaced with the LOW density 3 1/4 inch floppy, and later the High Density 3 1/4 inch.\nIFF you have a normal, modern 3 1/4 inch HIGH density disk writer at the office, and try to use it in the ancient 3 1/4 LOW density disk unit at home, the older low density machine will not know what the tracks on the floppy are - it will be reading two tinier high density tracks at the same time and get garbage data.\nThe odds of you having a 720 K floppy Machine at home, and a 1.44 Meg floppy Unit at work, are almost zero, but I thought I would mention it ! ) ]]\nThe second answer states to but the floppy BACK in the originating computer, and this actually WOULD have a high success rate.\n\nTHE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO " NOT " scandisk, or defrag or touch the floppy in ANY WAY.\nMake your disk ' holy " at once, and prevent any writing of any kind, by flipping the little tab down so that BOTH HOLES on the corners are open ( holy disk ), so that your disk is protected from evil ( programs that WRITE or try to repair it- which would destroy YOUR data in the process of " repairing " the tracks -- they do not give a hoot about YOUR data, only in re-viving the useability of the disk -- BEWARE ! ! )\n\nThere are many precautions in using floppies. The first, is to ALWAYS FULL FORMAT ( not the silly "quick format" ) the disk before writing to it, even if it is NEW and out of the package...\n\nThe other problem is the LACK of use of ordinary floppy drive machines. They continually build up layers of dust, and when people DO go to use them, they gum up the heads with dirt. There are floppy cleaner disks available at most computer stores and dollar stores, and you SHOULD clean them if they have not been in use very much...\n\nAnother problem is the slight variation in the HEAD size, and the HEAD alignment, of different fl

The disc is either not formatted or bad or the floppy drive is bad.  The floppy disc maybe mac formatted NOT PC formatted or visa versa.  Hope this answers your question.

Do you mean a floppy disc?

Just take out the floppy drive. Its your best bet!

Unlike 3.5" floppies, 5.25" floppies are completely outdated and therefore you will never get a 5.25" USB floppy drive or disks.\nUSB is a technology that emerged long after the 5.25" floppy variation was completely rejected by mankind. Therefore nobody cared to mix the two together. However, you can get 3.5" USB floppy drives and disks. Check out your favourite computer store.\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

The technology is not so advance at least in PSTN techology.\nYou need to get same old RJ 11.
