floppy drive

I have a new HP home pc. When I attempt to use a 3 1/2 floppy...there is a message that says the disk is not formatted. However I buy formatted disks, and when I try to allow the computer to format it anyhow, it says the disk can not be formatted. What is the problem here?

Re: floppy drive


What OS are you running?

Are the diskettes "write-enabled" ?

What is the capacity of the diskettes?

Have you called the store you bought it from?
