Floppy disks use magnetic disk to store the data.
Tape, DVD, CD, Floppy Disk
1. You can use WE to copy files on the floppy disk to a folder on the hard drive, then copy contents of the folder to the 10 disks. 2. Use a command prompt window, use the copy command to copy files on the floppy disk to a folder on the hard drive, then use the copy command to copy the contents of the folder to the 10 disks.
inessd a answer that why floppy disk shows 1.44mb while it has 1.47 mb capacity
Yes, floppy drives are a thing of the past, they are small and easily corrupted.
Because floppy drives (like CD-ROM drives) are very inexpensive. It will cost you $10 at the high end for a brand new floppy drive, just asking a technician to look at your floppy drive could cost more than that.
The biggest disadvantage is that it has very little storage capacity. The maximum storage capacity of a (last generation) floppy disk is around 240 megabytes. A USB stick, CD, or DVD-ROM can all hold much more than this. Secondly, fewer and fewer computer termnials are being manufactured with floppy disk drives, since they have been replaced by other storage methods. This means it is hard to get your data off the disk. Thirdly, floppy disks are more easily corruptible than other methods of data storage.
You could use a USB, or a memory card such as an SD card.
They're large, they only hold so much and aren't rewrite-able (you can't save multiple things on a floppy). A better alternative would be a USB drive.

Tape (up to 800GB, ex. DAT 160), DVD (4.7 - 17.08 GB), CD (up to 700MB) , Floppy Disk (ave. 1.44MB)
in a floppy drive, a small pin hits the area where that little switch is on the floppy. if it passes through, the floppy drive detects the floppy as write/read. it it doesn't pass through, the floppy drive detects the floppy as read only
