I am running XP Home SP3, amd all is well. I have 2 older games on 3-1/2 floppy and want to load them to my hard drive. When I insert the floppy the system asks me to insert a disk. Then when I go to My Computer the disk shoes to be full but with 0 bites and they are RAW. How can I convert the floppy from the old format to the new format? Keep in mind that my system is running fine, I just can not install these two older games....help!!!

Floppy disks should be FAT, not RAW or NTFP (I think you mean NTFS?). Sounds like the disks are corrupt. Try them on another system.

I have tried the floppy in 2 other PC's and the results are allways the same. The floppy's have not been used in a long time and have just been in the floppy box. Could I have corrupted the disks by just inserting them into the drive?

Floppies don't last forever. If you needed the data, you should have backed them up to more reliable storage media a long time ago. If you get the same results in several different systems, you can probably kiss them goodbye. But you can try recovery software: http://www.dtidata.com/free_data_re...

Wonder if it could be the floppies are 2.88 m and not 1.44.? Otherwise might try to turn the disk by hand and see if free and then re-try. Suspect they are bad. Playing to the angels Les Paul (1915-2009)

they must be bad the recover software did not work the floopy's turn freely, so they must be bad. My bad for not moving the games to a better storage media.
