Windows NT won't read contents of floppy.

[ramhead]

I have a Windows NT laptop with an internal floppy drive. I can boot with a floppy just fine, but when I try to read the contents of a floppy in Windows I get the message "The volume does not contain a recognized file system..." I have tried several different diskettes in the machine. I've also made sure that those diskettes are readable in other Windows NT machines. I'm assuming that the driver needs to be installed, but with no device manager, it's hard to troubleshoot. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

First thing:

i) Copy the contents of the disks onto a different computer which can read them
ii) Go to the dodgy computer and format the disks on that
iii) Copy the info back onto the disks
iv) Try to read them on the dodgy computer

If this doesn't work, get some new disks and see if the dodgy computer can read them. If not, could be a dodgy drive, ribbon etc.
