Win 2K Always wanting to format FDD

[elwin]

Windows 2K each time you click on the floppy it wants to format it because it can’t be read. The disks work fine in another PC. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the hardware. It will even start up on a WIN98 startup disk. The thing is that if you click on the floppy with no disk in, it will have the same message. Windows is the culprit and is there a fix that’s not to dramatic. I have replaced FDD and Cable before I throught to start it with a Starup disk.

Two or three reponses have repeated what I have said in the oringial question. The FDD has been replaced with a new one and a new cable and those same floppy Disks read just fine on the other Win2K system that they were created on. The only thing I havent tried is the BIOS.
