Reading of Win95 and Win98 readers 3.5 "with XP Pro?

I have a some floppies of 1.44 MB 3.5 "with files I want to transfer my XP Pro desktop computer.  When I try to play I get the message "Disk needs to be formatted" will erase all info on diskette.

Is it possible to read these with XP.  They have been created using Win95 or Win98.  Some alumni have even Mac.

The Mac which are not readable on a Windows System. Disks are a terrible way to keep data because they are deteriorating, damaged, and they can also become physically deformed so they will work only in the original floppy drive. If the disks are stored next to a monitor, the magnetic field of the wiped monitor them. It is not a question of Win9x-XP but more of a physical problem with floppy disks. A way to see if the discs are viable is with a USB floppy drive or the computer floppy drive another if you can find one. If they are illegible, even in this case, you can try the floppy data recovery programs. And here's one:

Otherwise, just mix records in the trash. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    I need to know how to remove the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded tonight and my computer does not have this edit bar little to work with, so I can download the reader good Adobe and my internet was screwed up, since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I want just the old version of this back because I can't download the Adobe stuff which is necessary to protect my computer against hackers apparently not. It would have been nice to know he had a problem with the new update of Firefox BEFORE I downloaded it. I have Vista, which is usually a problem with Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run a lot of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.

    This has happened

  • Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

    Media player from Windows

    Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
    is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Info about DVD decoders:
    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

    Or you can download and use one of the following freeware

    (works on XP/Vista/7)

    Or... you can try to download and install one of the

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

  • DualBOOT WinXP and Win98

    I tried to do for about 2 weeks, market and trying to get Windows 98SE & Windows XP dualboot correctly. I had success but am still not satisfied. Here's what I tried.

    1st attempt:
    -Essentially have a base with 2 primary partitions drive - a (Win98) one FAT32 NTFS (Windows XP). First, I installed Windows 98 on C: (FAT32), then installed Windows XP later on D: (WinXP). It was all great job for awhile and after some time I suddenly wasn't able to boot in Windows 98. Something had changed during the installation of programs over several days, so I restarted from scratch once again.

    2nd attempt:
    -Basic disk I had on a set of primary partition of 500 MB to active for just Boot (C: FAT32), about 1/3 of a primary partition for Windows 98 (E: FAT32) and about 2/3 of a primary partition for Windows XP (NTFS D :). Of course, I installed on the disks appropriate using C to boot to XP system files and 98. Installed XP first on D: and 2nd Win98 on E: - then I could only start XP again and Windows 98 was not able boot upward as he wanted to BE D: drive because Win98 is unable to see NTFS partition and think that there was nothing there so my boot.ini file were conflicts with that.

    3rd ATTEMPT (successful):
    After frustration, pulling on my hair and such things, I said screw it. I did an active primary partition (2/3 c: FAT32) and a 2nd primary partition (1/3 d: FAT32). So I installed Windows XP on C: first and Win98 on D: - it's all good and dandy except... I want my XP in NTFS security!

    AN IDEA: So right now, I say to myself, screw the partitions, equip a 2nd hard drive (primary slave / primary master). Master on XP NTFS, slave on 98 FAT32 - both primary partitions and can be active (or not?). But now I wonder if even that will work as loads off C: the boot for WinXP/98, and Windows 98 is an atheist, when it comes to NTFS partitions - they simply do not exist.

    ANOTHER IDEA: Find a decent boot loader. I've heard a lot of GRUB, but I wonder if this is the way to go because it seems that GRUB is used mainly for Linux/Unix dualboots.

    Here's WHAT I WANT: I want a WinXP NTFS (for security reasons) and a Win98 FAT32 work. Usually my Windows XP is about 2/3 of the space system and Windows 98 is of about 1/3 the space system.

    For all partitions to dualboot I use a 60 GB so you do the math. I have a spare 40 GB I thought put in Windows 98 separate conflict still further, but for some reason any after my failures, that it doesn't seem like I'm going to avoid conflicts...

    WHY THE TROUBLE? : you can ask - I just want to be able to play old games on Windows 98 with DX8.1 and have a working system of XP for all newer games (which are still old...) - in other words to benostalgic.

    Other questions on the installation made me know.

    PS Wait I will post everything trying to launch BITLOCKER partition Win7 with Bootcamp on my Macbook Pro. This one will be even more interesting...

    Get Ranish Partition Manager and install sound code MBR bootmanager.

    Then, at the prompt "boot HD...", press 1 or 2 to select the boot partition.

    No need to make entries special boot.ini, as boot partitions quite separately from this way.

    Also works for Linux, install LILO/Grub in the boot sector of partition, NOT the MBR, and once again you just press the partition number to select.
