computer problem!

[bunnymt]

Something is wrong with my computer. I have a dell inspion 4100. When I went to put my disk in the A drive today, it displayed that the disk had nothing on it...all of my papers and work was deleted, but I never deleted them!
I don't know if I have some virus or something, but maybe some of you have some ideas.
Thanks.

Your floppy is corrupted, sorry nothing you can do

Floppy disks are not reliable by any stretch of the imagination. Never, never, never, never trust one.

Buy one of those USB keychain drives and never look at a floppy disk again.

I figured it was not a good sign. What is your experience with this? Can you explain to me how this happens or why?

Floppy disks are very vurnerable to scratches, dust, drops etc

Sometimes even the floppy drive itself may damage the floppy

You may be able to recover part of your data with program that JNUTS gave you

DOnt ever ever use floppy again, I seen too many disasters happen to me while I was in college

You deserve it for using a floppy.

maybe you're right. But I did it out of naivity...I won't do it again!

I am thinking about getting another computer anyway...this dell has been giving me problems for about a year now, and it's only 2 years old!

Nah, i'm just joking around. Next time upload it online or just email it yourself.
