If it says that you should format it, this means that data on the disk has either been erased or damaged.  Assuming that you have a Windows operating system, you could try running Scandisk to recover the data, but I've never had much luck doing that on a floppy.  Good luck!

reformat the computer if you're that concerned about it.

No way - a floppy disk can take files up to 3.5 mb that's about the size of a 3 minute long mp3

insert the disk and go to "my computer". right click on your floppy disk drive and click on format.

Depending on how old the hd is and the os you're running, it's kind of hard to tell if a full format is worth it.  If the HD was used for Windows 95, the hd may be using the FAT32 system.  In this case, if you're using 95 on that old hd, try to get a dos prompt up.  You'll need a boot disk for your floppy drive.  If it's anything higher, chances are your hd is toast.\n\nBe a little more specific about your computer and os cause that'll be a lot easier to solve.

Yes. From a DOS prompt, "format c:" will format the c drive... "format d:" will format just d. If you want C: to be bootable when you are done, make sure you use a "/s" switch at the end.

You can disable the floppy drive in the bios if you don't use it. It is probably because the floppy is set up as a primary boot device. I have only known the annoying random floppy thing to happen in older computers. I ahve a floppy/card reader combo on my computer now and it never does that.

Assuming you mean a floppy disk, put a blank floppy in preferably, and go to My Computer, and just drag the file into the A: drive, by default.

The MS-DOS command for formatting is\n\nFormat x:   \nwhere x is your drive name.\n\nTo get a help screen which gives you the options that can be used along with the format command, type\n\nformat /?\n\nBut becareful - format will erase the entire data from your disk

you would have to buy recovery software that can scan the disk at the lower level and try to find files that have not been overwritten already. Do not understand why it would be formatted daily, that is very unusual, and is hard on the drive

Yes you can. There are two ways to do this using a computer. One, delete the items you do not need anymore. Or, you can format the floppy disk to completely erase everything that has been stored on it.
