Floppy Drive trouble

[Bryan42]

hi
I copyed a multi-part SFX rar archive across two floppy disks MyDocs.exe on the first floppy and MyDocs.rar on the second,the problem is the first part MyDocs.exe won't copy back to my C: drive,it gets stuck with about 45% left to transfer the A: drive then starts to make alot of clicking sounds if i press cancel it doesn't stop so i have to manually eject the disk
The data on the disks is important and i would be very grateful for any help on retrieving it.

regards
Bryan

First thing, run scandisk
If you are running Win XP open WIN Explorer Right click on A: drive choose sharing and security, then tools.

hi 2penguins

I'm using W2K I went to tools and ran Error-checking and it didn't report any error but the file still won't copy over :(

Here's something to try.

I don't know if it will work. I had read this in another forum a while back...

try to copy the disk to another floppy disk. and try and read the new disk. I know it sounds like a waste of time but it supposedly worked for the person on the other forum...

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how can i copy my floppy disk to a another floppy disk?

Just open Win explorer; right click on drive a:, then choose copy disk.

"It says winblows cannot read the disk you are copying from make sure it's not corrupt or in use"

It must be corrupt!

thanks for your help m8
