No reason why not. Windows XP should be able to read disks created with Windows 98 without any problems. OpenOffice is capable of reading a wide variety of files.

Difference between hard disk and flash memory?
A Floppy Disc (by definition) holds a maximum of 1.44 MegaBytes (1,440,000 Bytes) of data whereas a flash drive starts at 500 MegaBytes 500,000,000 and can hold as much as 8,000 MegaBytes 8,000,000,000 (8GB) of data. ... SIZE .. DOES .. MATTER. :-)
Can you open a saved document from Windows 7 on open office?
No reason why not - providing the document was saved in a format OpenOffice can read. Windows 7 is the operating system - OpenOffice is a program.
Why do the floppy disk files which have been saved to your computer load so slowly?
The primary reason that floppy disks are so slow is that the computers they were originally used on were very slow. Floppy disks have had to be kept at a slow rate so that old software on them can still be used and older computers can still read disks made by newer ones.
What are the Main advantages of hard disk drive?
its a storage device, it stores information
How do you work with floppy disk?
There's no secret to work with floppy disks. Although they have a small storage capacity, their cases is very useful to keep the disk free from damages. I don't know how they are used today, as the modern computers seems to have eliminated the drive from the hardwares items. However, I consider them very useful to record small and important files. When you have a document or image that you want to keep it safe, just click on the file using the right side of the mouse, and a window will open showing the drives of the computer. Click on the file and send it to the floppy disk drive using the left side of the mouse, automatically the file will be saved. If the modern motherboads still support floppy disk drives, just connect the drive into the computer and start using the floppy disks.
Can music be saved on a floppy disk?
Yes. But keep in mind that the capacity of a floppy disk is very small. It would be difficult to fit a full-length song at a decent quality on a floppy disk.
How are data files saved on floppy disks?
Put a floppy disk in the drive. With Windows, go to file save as, then go to the drop down box. At the top of that box, go the 3 1/2 floppy and save it.it is done by a reading light that passes over dints in the disk which is allocated inside the platic cover which forms the binery cod 1 and 0 forming data blocks form the code, e.g110110010111011101101thanks borisThe answer above is refering in principle to how CD's work - NOT floppies. Floppy disks store binary data as a series of magnetic dots on the surface of the disk and are written to / read from by a voice coil (electro-magnet).
How do you reboot your computer after you use iolo scrubber?
You should have the instillation disks that came with your computer. You saved them didn't you? Get them out and reinstall them. If you did not save them, you will need to go to a store and purchase new system disks. That will teach you to save the original instillation disks.
What is the difference between floppy disc and hard drive?
A hard disk (HD for short) and floppy disk (FD for short) both work in the same manner, except that on can hold more information. Both are a type of magnetic media which can have information written and erased many many times. A lot better than paper when you write something and erase many times, that paper gets thin, then GAME OVER! I am including a link to better explain this from "howstuffworks". I really love that site. I could spend all day on there reading about anything! About their differences. the most common floppy disks only hold about 3.14MB of data. Where an electric HD can hold almost any amount up to several terabytes today!! That is huge. The FD uses a mechanical motor to move the read/write armature that hovers over the FD material (most comparable to cassette tape material). This is where it changes the magnetic properties of the tape material, and bingo, last night's report is saved! The HD works in a similar fashion. HD's have dense metallic disks inside that can spin at thousands of RPM's (rounds per minute). As the disks spin a similar Armature that is is surrounded by some really powerful magnets changes the magnetic properties of the dense metallic disks and Bingo, last night's report, music, and the whole operating system is spinning virtually forever. That is the basics. Hopefully that sums things up in a nutshell. Visit that site at howstuffworks to really see a more in depth look at floppy disks & hard drives!
