Hi! I just recently bought a vintage game which turned out to be on two 3,5" floppy disks. As I didn't have any floppy-reading computer any more, I just put the game away. But I have just found an external floppy drive, so I thought I'd copy the files over on my pc. The problem is that the drive (or my pc, don't know which) can't read the disks. I wasn't sure whether it was because the disks are old, or if they are mac-formatted, so I downloaded TransMac, a program for Windows that can read mac formats. That didn't work, so I am suspecting it is a problem with my computer. When I try to open drive A:, Windows asks me if I want to format the disk before use. I say no, because there is data on the disc, so Windows refuses to read it. Is it anything you can help with? Disk drive is YE-8U10: http://www.yedata.co...lti/4xslim.html Computer is Acer 7750G with Win7 64-bit. if you need any more information, I'll gladly provide you with it. Thanks in advance for your help!
