re: 3.5 floppy will not format disks Wednesday, May 23, 2007 at 6:56 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bobbie (7 messages posted) Most of the disks I tried were 1.44 HD disks, but I tried some that were not HD. I also attempted to format both types as 7250 and they still were not done right. I am getting another drive today from a friend to try it out. Thanks for all the great ideas I have received. These forums are great.

Of course, both types have the write protect tab in lower left.
