Re: raw file system ?

Try cleaning the hardware with a floppy disk head cleaner after blowing it
out with compressed air.

If that doesn't work..try copying the floppy to another.
Right click (A:\)> Copy Disk...

I have an ancient floppy -Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack (Disk format:
High-density(1.44MB) Version 1.0 which I tried to load through my floppy
drive A connected by USB to my PC (XP+MCE). I scanned the floppy with AVG and
was reported clean, I than clicked Drive A for properties and noted that the
disk was formated under RAW. I next left clicked Drive A and the directory of
the floppy was displayed, I than left clicked Setup and the problem ocurred,
the system came back with an error message that the floppy is to be
formatted, I was never able to get rid of this error message (my event viewer
indicated warning sfloppy event51 and error sfloppy event7) in the end there
was a stack of this error notifications and my PC hung. I hope this will
provide more information to Ken Blake with the view to assist II
