I got this message whenever I try to read a floppy disk, although, obviously the floppies are formated. It actually say "disk not formated, do you want to format it now (Yes or No)".
Is this a hardware problem (replace floppy) or some other bug ?

If the same floppy works in another drive, then yes indeed, the first computer has a defective floppy drive. Replace the drive.

If the same floppy works in no drive, then the floppy itself is now bad. Replace the floppy.

Hmmm, weird enough, I was 99% sure that I have to replace the floppy drive. I called the manufacturer's support center and they told me to try booting from a floppy. Although it didn't work the first time, it cicked in right after that and now it's working fine. Thanks for replying though,
