Floppy disk problem
Problem system is XP Home, and the hdd is formatted in the NTFS format. It can write to a floppy and then recover the info from that floppy, but no other PC can recover the info off the same floppy. Nor can it recover info off a floppy written by another PC. Any ideas greatly appreciated.....Trev

I just wonder if this is a User Permission problem.

XP/W2K have problems with floppies. Floppies formatted with W2K can often not be read in W9x systems. You might look at this thread for more info.
