I worked on a project at my office and saved it on a floppy disc to bring
home to complete. When I tried to open the document I received two errors -
one that said the disc was not formatted and the other that said I was not
authorized to access that drive! I'm the only one that uses my home computer
so I need to know how to allow myself access and I don't understand why the
disc worked at work but now says it's not formatted. THIS IS URGENT - THE
PROJECT IS A FINAL PAPER FOR A GRAD COURSE PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!
