Hey Al, Have these disks been near any type of magnet? Or, Possibly, the floppy drive has gone bad. The head in the drive may have gone out of alignment and can no longer read those disks. Try them in another computer with the same type drive if possible. What size is this drive? 3.5, 1.44 meg? or an older 5 1/4?
