Question 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.

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

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, they let you use 40mb of free space or 50 files, whichever comes first.

Re: Floppy Disc problem

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

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