Floppy Disc problem

Ok i have lots of pics/files saved on my disc. It always worked till now it says it needs to be reformatted? If i do that its goin to lose all my files and i really need them. Can someone tell me if theres a way to fix this? Maybe its my computer?

Try running a scan disk on it. And a defragment. Other than that, data recovery specialists start at $60/h. Email me if you would like a quote.

never trust floppys or CDs :-) backups backups backups.

Restart in safe mode if you need to. $60/h is nothing.

Well thanks for your help. I'll try that out :thumbsup:

Damn it still doesn't work :/

How large are your files? You can try saving it on your SD card, memory stick, mp3 player, flash-disk or heck...post them on the web. Try www.freewebs.com (http://www.freewebs.com), they let you use 40mb of free space or 50 files, whichever comes first.

Hey thanks man. I dunno how big but i'll try that site though :)

:rolleyes:
You need to be able to access the files before you can upload them to the internet.

restart the comp or use safe mode

I tried safe mode and it doesn't work. I haven't tried it in a different computer yet. Maybe it'll work?
