The floppy disk is not formatted. Format the disk (you may do this by right-clicking the disk
icon in My Computer in Windows and choosing Format from the menu). Bear in mind that
this will erase all data contained on the floppy disk.
Note: Floppy disks were never intended for long-term data storage, and have a finite
lifespan. Do not store important files you wish to keep for a long time on floppy disks. As
a general rule it is worth reformatting floppy disks regularly.
The floppy disk is write-protected. Undo the protection by moving the write-protect tab on
the disk down until it clicks.
There is not enough unused space available on the disk. Use a new disk or delete
unneeded data.
The computer is trying to boot from an incorrect floppy disk.
Remove the floppy and insert a correct one, or boot from your hard disk or CD. You will
need to restart the computer.
