    Floppies
    Hi,
    If I understand correctly, your floppy drive (A drive) will not read most of your floppies.
    There could be 2 problems:
    One is that your floppy drive is going bad.
    The second is that the data on your old floppies is becoming corrupt.
    I don't know any free software that can recover data from these floppies.
    There are many "buy" softwares that can do it.
    Use Google search, type in Floppy Disk Data Recovery", then click on Search.
    You will find many ", then click on Search.
    You will find many " programs to consider.
    Best wishes,
    fredg
