You can't, at least now without destroying whatever was on those disks but
they may not be inaccessible. If you have access to a Windows 9x machine,
95, 98, ME, you might be able to read the disks on that machine, if it has a
CD burning copy the files on the floppy disk to a CD-R or RW disk and that
should give you access to your files.

What you are experiencing may simply be that XP is unable to read those
disks, hence it sees them as raw so the above may well work for you.
