    Whenever I insert a floppy disk it keeps saying that the disk is not formatted. When I try to format it, I get the following error message:

    I've tried now with about 3 different floppy disks but the same thing keeps happening. Why wouldn't it be able to format them?

    Because they're damaged. Seems unlikely that 3 would be damaged but it can happen.

    It could also be a floppy drive going bad! Try formatting the disks in another computer to see if they are bad.:)
