Floppy Size Not Being Read Properly?? 4

[Wullie]

Hi,

The problem I am having is that my computer is telling me that a floppy disk is only 1.38MB instead of the 1.44MB it really is.

When I single click on the floppy drive, I get the chart telling me the capacity is only 1.38MB.

I thought windows was maybe wrongly reading the drive but I can`t save a file larger than 1.38MB

I have tried this on various disks(new and old) but still have the same problem.

I have formatted the disk in dos but still the same.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Wullie

Hey Wullie,
Could it be the disks you are using are bad? Try it with other brand disks. Or maybe the files you are trying to copy are corrupt. -Feryl
