Actually I should say it will save it on your pc but I believe badsexycrazygirl is trying to save them to disk. Perhaps she wants a backup copy. ;)

*Ahem*  Gets everyone's rapt attention

Girl... Is there data on the disk that you need to get off of it?  Like you had saved a school paper onto the disk and then now the disk is saying it needs to be formatted when you put it into the computer drive... If that's the case DO NOT format it!  You will  be up the s**t's creek, sans (french for without) paddle if you do format it...  If you have data on the disk and you need to retrieve it then you can either 1. Take it to a computer repair shop and they can try to retrieve whatever data you had stored on there... 2. Use a program that you can download from the internet that can recover the lost data... I would recomend - http://download.com.com/3000-2094-8134556.html

It's what we use at my work, and it's about the best software out there... It supports all file system types (FAT, FAT32, NTFS...)  And it works incredibly fast compared to its competitors...

If you don't have data on the disk the just follow DJ's instructions and format away....  It may be possible that the disk has died though... With the floppies that happens ALL the time... Just about anything can kill a floppy disk... Magnets of any kind (in your TV, speakers, sterios), if you jolt the disk too hard, if pressure is applied to any part of the disk too hard, if you leave it in the sun for too long, if you get any kind of liquid on it, etc, etc...  So you may just need a new disk all together...

*The Master has spoken*  ;)
