Floppy disks, as slow and old as they are compared to CD’s and Zip disks, still provide a useful tool in our computing lives. They dutifully back up our important files and allow us to share those files between computers and colleagues.
However, did you realize that a floppy disk is reusable? You can turn those old floppy disks into newly usable media again by following these steps:
-
Insert the floppy disk into your computer
-
Double Click on ‘My Computer’
-
Click ONE time on the 3 1/2 Floppy Disk
-
Click on File from the menus
-
Click on Format
-
Under Format Type, click on Full
-
Click on Start
Wait for the format to finish and then you will have a new disk capable of backing up your email, bookmarks, address book and much more!
