Save it in your "documents" then right click on "start" and select "explore."  This will show your complete file system.\n\nFind to the file you saved and drag and drop it in the "3 1/2 inch" floppy near the top under desktop in the explore file system.  Then click on the "3 1/2 inch" floppy and see if it is in there.  \n\nHope that helps.

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 differnt !)\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 orginating 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 flop

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.

1. Begin by placing the floppy disk that you want to copy into your floppy drive.\n2. Then double click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop until it opens.\n3. Then gently click on the 3½ Floppy (A:) icon just until it becomes highlighted.\n4. Then click on the word File, which is contained in your top tool bar area.\n5. This will pull down a menu for you to now click on Copy Disk.\n6. 3½ Floppy (A:) will appear highlighted in both the Copy from: box and the Copy to: box.\n7. Then click on the Start button to initiate the Copy Disk process.\n8. Windows will tell you to insert the disk you want to copy from (source disk).\n9. Acknowledge this prompt by clicking on the OK button to initiate the copy process.\n10. A progress indicator bar will travel 50% across the screen while reading the source disk.\n11. Then Windows will prompt you to insert the disk you want to copy to (destination disk.)\n12. Place your destination disk into your floppy drive and click on the OK button to continue.\n13. The progress indicator will indicate that it is now writing to the destination disk.\n14. You will then receive notification stating that the Copy completed successfully.\n15. Then close all open windows to return back to your Windows session.

Hmm, it would seem that you tried to do something to a disk drive that doesn't exist.\n\nIf you're trying to do something with your floppy drive, that's the A:/ drive.  Your main hard drive is usually C:/ and your cd drive is either d:/ or e:/

No, use the one that comes with the computer.\n\nThe floppy disk is not working here any more

I am assuming you mean a floppy disc?  insert it into your A drive, right click "my computer" and open it, go to the A drive, right click and choose "format"
