Hi ... Try doing the following >>> First thing you should do is create a
folder and give it any name you like , usually something to do with the data
you are going to be using it for ( for example name it flopdata ), Ok how to
go about doing so >>> Click the start buttom >> then select " My Computer "
Now notice which is your hard drive letter , which is usually the C Drive ,
If it is ? Double click this drive and in a empty area right click with your
mouse and select " New " then select " Folder " at this point you would
provide a name for this folder again ( name it flopdata ) click ok , Now
close everything and be back at your desktop icon screen , Once there put
the floppy inside your flop drive , Then go to the "Start" buttom , Select "
My Computer " Now you should be able to see your A drive which is where your
floppy data is stored , double click the A drive and it will open your data
, Now when you notice your data just highlight and right click on , then
select " Copy " Then go back to the " My Computer " area again double click
whichever is your hard drive usually its the C Drive This time you should
see the folder flopdata if thats the name you did end up using for the name
for your folder that you created , If you used a different name then look
for the name that you did use and double click on it , Now you will right
click on the empty area and select paste , At this time you will now notice
your flop data stored onto this folder , So when ever you want to view this
data just open where your hard drive and then double click the folder which
you created and it should open your floppy data , I hope this helps
