Is there a way to get information off a old floppy disk?

Floppy disks are an old technology and very prone to corruption in a number of circumstances. If the disk is placed near any magnetic interference (speakers, monitor) if a disk gets to hot, or is exposed to light then data on the disk can become unreadable. It is very unlikely that data on a corrupt floppy disk can be recovered. It is generally considered that the use of floppy disks for day to day file storage is a thing of the past. It would be advised you remove any data you have on floppy disc to a new storage format such as flash memory.

How do you make bootable floppy disc of window NT?

From which platform? From a Windows platform, insert the floppy into your disk drive. You can do this any number of ways but I'll give you the two easiest for me: 1. Right click on start, hit explore, drag your data to the disk drive. It will copy it, not move it. Remove disk. 2. In the program that opens the data you want to transfer (so perhaps Word for a paper you wrote), have the data open in the window, click on File, Save As, and Save it to your floppy drive (usually drive A). Close program. Remove disk.

Got new 320GB computer only show is 286 in C drive what to do?

How do you format a floppy disk?

Start->My Computer->Right click on the floppy drive->Format. There are two kinds of formatting. The first one is "fast" which takes only couple seconds and good with new floppy disk or trusted used ones. The second one is "long" and includes the low level formatting and it can take couple minutes.

How do you install an internal floppy disc drive into a laptop?

Most modern laptops do not have space for a floppy drive internally, so this is impossible on them. If you have an old laptop that has space for a floppy drive internally, it probably already has one so you don't need to install one. However if that existing internal floppy drive has failed you will have to replace it (assuming you can find a floppy drive to replace it with). To replace the existing internal floppy drive you will need the manufacturer's documents on how to open the laptop's case, get access to the floppy drive, and swap out the old one and replace it with the new one. This will almost certainly require special tools (e.g. torx drivers, wrenches) that you don't already have and will need to buy if you don't already frequently do such work.

Floppy disk disadvantages?

Mainly lack of capacity. A floppy disk is usually 1.44 MB. Modern flash drives, hard drives, etc. are in the gigabytes and terabytes ! You can still use a floppy drive (I have a USB external floppy drive), but it will become more difficult to get new floppy disks as manufacturers abandon a rather antiquated media.
