Why?

Where in the world did you hear that a floppy won't work in XP?

Evil plans. 🙂

I don't know why my floppy won't work. It works outside of windows, and on everyone elses computer. It pisses me, off. I had it working one day for 10 minutes but that was it. After like 4 or five formats on it I gave up and yanked it out.

This is going to ruin my day. I hate unsolved mysteries.

Did the disks work in the other machines? Perhaps windows noticed that there were bad sectors and didn't let you use the disk?

yes GermyBoy, it won't even read win boot discs which I can read outside of windows.
