Okay, firstly I know this is PC related, but I posted this in Off-Topic cos that is where the most traffic is.
I typed out a speech for english today at school during study period. Saved it to my floppy disk and I bring it home and it won't open.
This project is worth 25% of my in school assessment and worth 12.5% of my final hsc mark.
That is the error I get.
Please help me!!!!!

Firstly we have to know if it's the disk or the drive.
Do you have another floppy disk you can try out in the drive?

It's the disk. I tried another disk in the drive and it opened fine.

What kind of computers do you use in school? Could they have screwed up the disc?
How much more work do you need to do on the speech? Perhaps you could just get an early night and get to school as early as you can in the hopes that it might work on the school computer.
Otherwise, since it's a speech, just wing it ;)

Was the disk originally formatted on your pc?
What version of windows was your school computer using?
Sometimes windows xp has trouble reading disks formatted under previous versions of windows.

School com XP. My computer XP professional. I formatted the disk at school cos I didn't have time to do it at home. I'm guessing that'll be the problem?

You need to update your floppy disk driver if you can...
"using a different floppy disk or a floppy disk with a different density. If this message reappears, contact the hardware supplier or the floppy disk driver software supplier.
" From Microsoft. This is what come up when you search for the error message.
or use the computer back at school and email it to yourself its always better.

Sounds hard. Might just re-write it all tonight. Unless it's actually very easy, cos then I'll do that, but thanks anyway guys, specially Stevo. Thanks for the help.

Despite the fact that traffic is highest here, and your request was urgent, i'm going to have to move this to PC gen.
Sorry mav, but if there's no order, we're reduced to animalistic tendancies :P

Yo, I got another query, but this one ain't nearly so desperate or important.
I'm doing a legal studies assessment on Family and I've decided to get 100% on it, and thus have also decided to establish an extensive footnoting section. However, when I go to character map in Windows I can only get 1, 2, 3 and I need more numbers then that. Up to 10 preferably as this will be rather extensive.
Can any computer literate people out there help me?
By the way, I'm talking bout these characters: ¹ ² ³
EDIT: I may have figured it out myself. I'm using wordpad and young Jawsy tells me MS Word includes footnoting automatically. Any way to do it on Wordpad? I have MS Word but it's on my other, much slower computer, which happens to be my dads. So if I can do it on my computer it would be much better and much more convenient for me.

Hmm, don't think there is a way to do superscript is there? I just know to press ctrl + alt + F to footnote with word. Makes it so much easier. I think you might be better off using your Dad's computer, or maybe type it up on your computer, putting a mark for where a footnote should go, then load it up on your Dad's computer and throw in the footnotes.
