I have two computers in my house: one that has internet and one who's internet doesn't work anymore for some reason. Well, I'm typing up a story on the non-internet one, and now all of a sudden, all the floppy disks are un formatted. When I try to format, it tells me windows could not complete it. I formatted them on my other comp, but there's still an error messege on the one with the story. Got any ideas to why this might be happening? It worked before.

Your looking at a bios corruption, or maybe a hard drive crash in the near future. If the components are slowly dying on your system it is because you system is beginning to fail, probably the motherboard or the CPU itself. Essentially what's happening is that the voltage distribution of your system is beginning to weaken and not all components are working at the voltage their suppose to. Eventually the system will fail completely. Formatting is a process of software not hardware at least of floppy disks anyway. The software is being corrupted by the voltage drops that cause it to skip, slow and loose information from the dynamic link library. This throws off the heuristics and causes the system to work harder to achieve the same results, results it cannot achieve. This creates a systemic paradox and soon the program will eat itself. The system itself will follow shortly thereafter. It's probably time to let that system go.

The computer that the internet no longer works sounds like it is infected with a virus or spyware causing it to not be able to read the floppy. If this is the case, do not move floppy disks between both machines because you may spread that infection.

Try taking the cover off of the computer and dunking it in a bath full of 50% water and 50% alcohol, make sure it drys completely before using it again, this should get rid of any virus's

It could be that one of the floppy drives is a 120mb drive, sorta old techno that evolved, lived and died rather quickly
