That's a completely different problem, you omitted that critical info in your original 
post. Some floppy disks written on an older OS will appear unformatted in XP, I've 
never had a problem opening older floppy disks, while other have. The blame is usually 
placed on the "floppy media descriptor byte." If that were truly the case, I have 
no idea why I can open these older floppies but others can't.

Your only choice may be to open them on an older computer and transport them another 
way. Incidentally, floppy disks are the least reliable media you can select to store 
important data on.
