We have received a file on a floppy disk from a client. When we put it into the drive it says that disk has not been formatted. We already read from the disk and transferred the file to another system earlier. Why, after we have already used the file on the floppy disk does it now tell us it is not formatted. We need to open the file to print out some information from the original information on the disk. We do get a question that asks if we want to format the disk now. Can we say Yes to that? Or should we say No? If we say yes, what will it do to the disk? Any help you can give, would be appreciated. We do not want to lose any info on the disk so we are waiting for your answer. Thank you. djn92546@aol.com
