Off topic: Floppy problems

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

This is going to seem weird. It sure did to me. Last night, I tried to read
a disk, and I got a blue screen from DriveSpace. I figured the disk had
gone bad because I got them 4 years ago. Apparently, it WASN'T the floppy.
Soon, every floppy in the house seemed to have gone bad. Whenever I try to
read a floppy in DOS under Windows, it says "General failure". Under pure
DOS, "Sector not found". I think the problem *might* be a loose cable. They
do have a reputation of coming loose from time to time, right? Anyway, I'm
open to suggestions and any other kind of response.

 Thanks for taking the time to read this!
