if you have a disk with things saved on it and all of a sudden it says your disk isn't formatted ?

There is nothing saved on your disk. It means tracks have to be laid down before anything can be saved on the disk. Go to your disk manager to do this.

Input / Output.\n\nIn short getting data in and out of the operating system or cpu from disk and memory.\n\nYou probably have a bad hard drive.\n\n...\n\nBad disks can usually still be partially read from. They are made up of many platters and parts. It may be that only a part of the drive is dead. To know for sure use a disk verification tool, it may be able to map around the bad parts is the drive motor itself is still okay.

Either the disk is damaged or the drive is dirty or damaged.\n\nIf the disk is the problem, run  CheckDisk on it.  \n\nStart-->Run\n\nin the Run box, type CHKDSK A:  then press Enter.\n\nIf that doesn't work, the disk cannot be repaired, or the trouble is with the drive.

Perhaps you can purchase another reformat disk from the computer company.  Or might be better to buy a new  preprogrammed one that comes with the restores disks.  \nE

Either the disk is damaged or there is a special type of right protection, so dowload AnyDVD and leave it on, or if your disk is damaged use soapy water to clean it, but in store CD Cleaners are the most effective.

do a disc cleanup and check the temp files and that will do it

Don't just format your hard drive.  Wipe it using DBAN, see sources, or a similar tool.  Formatting, alone, will leave much recoverable information on your drive.\n\nAfter wiping, as the other posters have already said, format your drive and reinstall your operating system from the original CDs.

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.

Any disc that has been finalized will show 0 bytes remaining for space. Any drive that does not have a disc installed in it will show 0 bytes remaining. This is by design and there's nothing to clear.

Well u should take it to a technician, and only if they will guarantee in writing not to lose your files.  Formatting will definately lose your files.  And, also, u have to delete windows from the old drive too.
