diskette contained already on it, but he says now I format. How to info on the disk without reformatting?

On my old computer with Windows XP, I downloaded different files on the floppy drive.  Each of the disks have been formatted before that I downloaded.  With my new system which is Vista, I had to put an external floppy drive to read my files, but when I put the disc, it tells me they need to be formatted.  I tried the disks in my computer at work (which has XP) and he tells me the same thing.  How can I get information on these disks without reformatting?  Or why is it telling me that formatted disks before have format again?

This error message indicates that the drive is damaged and the data on it can no longer be read.  If this is happening in two different disk drives then it most likley means that disks have failed.
