Well I had troubles moving things around on floppies back in the days too. Often the floppy would work only on the computer I used to write to it. Trouble with floppy drives these days is that they never get used. When I'm called to repair a computer the floppy drive is usualy full of dust. A cleaning floppy often does help reviving these things. Actually, I usually just create a bootable CD from a floppy. Works much better. |

He means physically changing a floppy to a CD. |
