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.

∙ 11y agoThe data rate of a floppy disk is only about 125 kbit/s when reading. That's approximately 1/10th the speed of a single-speed CD-ROM and somewhere in the region of 1/200,000th the speed of a modern hard-drive. Your files load slowly because that's simply as fast as they can possibly load.

Can files saved onto floppy disk only be accessed by other users without the disk?
Short answer to this. No, the data can't magically jump from one computer to another (providing the computer's aren't networked. If they were however, it would be unlikely the files would be stored on floppy) short answer: no, not normally. long answer: maybe. if the file has a backup copy written on the harddrive somewhere, and someone knows where to look, then, yes. take the screws off and throw a bucket of water on top of it and then get a blow dryer and dry i did that and now iam in hospitel and pepol are feeding me ice cream and chocolate EVERY MINIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The files cannot be accessed unless they are stored somewhere else on the system or they are in temporary files. in short; no. NO. In fact, your question has a false answer. Files saved onto a floppy disk cannot be accessed from the disk unless the user uses the disk in the computer. The only way to access the same files without a disk is to have a backup on another disk, hard drive, or other medium.

How do you transfer a saved Nancy Drew game file to another computer?
Copy the files that end in ".SAV" from your "My Documents" folder (or wherever the game saved your files-- sometimes on Desktop or elsewhere) to the folder on the other computer where it saves files. If you're not sure where the new computer saves files, then start a new game, name it, and save it, then search for that file. The name of the file is always "name of your game".SAV. Then you can open the file on the new computer.
