How do you transfer a photo from a floppy disk drive to a computer?

Answer 1

If you have a CD Burner such as Nero or Roxio (Sonic solutions), start the program, choose Data CD and then then choose from the task bar "Add Data" and then select the drive where your data is, and follow the instructions.

Answer 2

Ok- 1st insert the floppy disk into your computer's slot.

2nd:wait a few seconds

3rd: go into your "computer" file

4th: it should say something and that its in drive: F for example

5th: Find the file you put the pictures in and either copy or cut them by right clicking

6th:go back and open your floppy folder and right click then paste

7th:Then you should be able to eject the disk after it finishes copying

Hope it works!

Answer 3

You can burn it direct to CD, but wasting a CD for 1.44Mb of information (unless you are using a RW disk) can be a bit costly if the burn program won't let you 'hot swap' floppies. The better and safer way is to make a directory on the hard drive and copy all the floppy data you want to transfer into it. Select a CD or DVD the same size or slightly bigger than the directory and burn the files onto it.

Answer 4

There's no standardized way to do this, unfortunately. If the installer doesn't explicitly check for the floppy drive and has only one disk, simply copying the files to a CD should work. If the installer uses more than one floppy, it would take extensive modification of the installer program, since they expect different disc names and different files may have the same name on separate disks.

Answer 5

You need to insert the floppy into a floppy drive (A Drive)

In the explorer window it will show as 3-1/2" Floppy (A)

When you highlight the "A" drive all the data in the floppy will show.

From there you can drag or copy & paste to new destination

If you don't have an "A" drive;

a. You can use another computer that has one and copy the files to a USB drive.

or

b. You can buy an internal or external "A" drive for your computer and follow the

above instructions
