Is it a regular floppy disk or a memory disk? I've seen this happen when disks were going bad or when the read heads on the floppy drive are misaligned and not able to read all disks.
Floppy disk which was working but not now. It still works in camera
What's a memory disk?
Memory cards used by digital camera's and some cellphones.Quote:

I took a pic with another floppy. I can see pic in camera. I put floppy in PC:

Did you check no when it asked to format? :D
Then your floppy drive may need to be swapped out. Sounds like the heads are misaligned.
great thanks :(
Thats been a really common problem with floppies for me. I havent found any solution to it. I just end up using a new(er) floppy.
You mean they get old? These are *newer Memorex "cool disks" 2SHD
*newer compared to the old maxell 2hd i've got here.
Floppies are notorious for going bad no matter how old or new.
the floppies for the floppy drive?

they mean the drive
My suggestion:
Floppy drives retail for around $10; I'd buy one without any hesitation. Relative to the time you can spend trouble-shooting, the low cost of these drives easily justifies taking a "chance" and seeing if it eliminates the problem. Good luck.

Well, It was software related. It works after running True Image. Anyway check out the dust and suction the CPU fan draws. It could hold a sheet of paper the size of the computer or larger. I have to pry the paper off with a screwdriver and use a pair of plyers
