unformatted floppy

[matt]

Is there any way to view what is on an unformatted
floppy? I belive there is something on the disk, but a
box pops up saying disk is unformatted and asked me if I
want to format it. It may be MAC formatted I am not
sure. Is there a way to check?

If it's using Mac formatted you would need a Mac to open it or some sort of
Mac emulater, I believe one is called, Mac Opener. If the disk is formatted
and it was formatted on a PC, check the following Knowledge Base Article for
information on this issue:

Don't believe XP when it says a disk is unformatted, if you believe
something of worth may be on the disk. It has a problem with some
floppies formatted by other Windows types.
