I have a problem with a recurring message that states
that any floppy disk that i try to open is not
formatted. If i try to format it the formatting tool
freezes and even if it does format the disk, the same
message pops up again. I have even tried formatting a
disk with another WIN XP machine and still got the
message. Could Someone please help me
 
Sounds like your floppy drive is messed up. Check the back and make sure
the cable is fully connected (and properly connected as it is possible
to connect it upside down) and make sure the power cable is fully
connected. You can try removing the floppy drive from your hardware
profiles as well and see if that fixes it after a good reboot.

If all else fails, you can try a repair operation on Windows. I would
just recommend throwing out the floppy and buying one of those USB Flash
drives :)
