about my A drive

[Guest]

I have pictures on ALOT of floppy disks that I've taken with an older digital
camera. When I insert them into my computer it shows nothing. It'll show that
all my space is taken up so I know there is something on them.
My mother took them to Wal-Mart and tried in the digital machine..and nothing.
Then she went to the Kodak Machine, and then all my pictures appeared.
What can I do to have my pictures come up on my computer?

Most likely the read/write heads on the floppy disk drive (FDD) on the
machine on which the floppies were written are aligned slightly
differently than on the FDD on your machine.

You could try a different FDD (if you still have the original machine
then try that FDD in your machine) or find a machine on which your
disks can be read and copy the pics to CDs

Find a PC with Win98 installed - floppy access is much more reliable on the
older Windows versions than in XP.
