[mark]

Why will a floppy disk formatted with FAT on my work PC
which uses win 95NT not be accessable on my Win XP system
at home? Can anyone help

There is no incompatibility between a floppy created on one
Windows operating system and another. They all use FAT12 and
should work in exactly the same way.

There may be an incompatibility in the way the two diskette
*drives* are aligned, preventing reading of a diskette created on
the other drive.
