Problem reading a Floppy Disk

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a problem with my 'A Drive' which has me puzzled, can anyone tell me
what's happening and how to get around the problem.

Formatting 1.44mb disk - "invalid media or a track 0 bad - disk unusable"





All I want to be able to do is format a floppy disk and copy over some
files.
