So I put in a new floppy disk to transfer some fonts from one computer to another. I drag the fonts from computer1 into the A: drive, insert disk into computer2 and get a message saying the disk must be formatted and I will lose all data. So I click to format anyways, and then it says the disk is unformatable. The funny part is that the other brand new disks from the same package held data without any initial formatting.
In the end, I have several great fonts that are lost between computer1, computer2, and an unformatable floppy disk. Can anybody help me save them? Thanks,

Its most likely the drive alignment between floppy 1 and 2. You should be able to put the floppy back in 1 and get the fonts back off if you didn't just copy them. Do you have a cd burner you could use? If both are connected to the internet you could email them. Only other option is try other floppies or network the 2 computers.

Thanks for your reply, but the fonts were moved, not copied, and when I put the disk in the same computer that I originally took the fonts from, it also says the disk is unformatable.
The fonts are not on either computer.
Neither computer can read the floppy disk.
If I ran a recovery disk for windows xp, would that load the fonts again?

It should do, you'd have to take it back to a point before you moved them.
