They come with the necessary drivers, which you install on your old computer. You can get one of these from Best Buy electronics stores. One idea is to buy and install an external 3.5" floppy drive. Any advice or tip will be greatly appreciated. Maybe some of you know, or can assist in this matter. What can I do to open my 3.5 floppies, that's short of reformatting back to the original Windows XP (2002) OS? Which is not a likely to happen. It seems the updated Windows XP version will now only read FAT format. Now when you insert a 3.5 floppy into the drive, Windows XP says the "disk is not formatted". For some reason however, my Windows XP will no longer open the floppies, much to the credit it seems of the auto SP2 and SP3 updates downloaded over the past. In 2003 I was using the standard OS Windows Home Edition XP (2002) and had no issues THEN with opening (Sony Mav) 3.5 floppies and pulling photos and tranferring them all to disk. I'm still using the same CPU set up (a Dell Dimension 8300 purchased in 2003) which has a 3.5 floppy drive. They had all been formatted for the Sony camera and stored in a good climate controlled environment. All of them contain photos from 2000-2001 that had been taken with a Sony Digital Mavica FD-73. Recently I found several old 3.5 floppies (2HD IBM 1.44 3.5) from a storage box which had been lost and forgotten about. I thought perhaps I should try here for starters, since it deals with photos. Greetings, I've researched throughout the web where many had posted a similar question, but without generating much response.
