Yeah, but the issue is exactly the opposite - the disk he has is not a HD disk.

Well guess what, guys? I bought some 1.44mb floppies yesterday and they arrived today. I saved a file on one at work to make sure it works, then took it home and stuck it in the drive, worked straight away. So I guess this one is solved!!!
Sorry for my noobness in not knowing the disks were 720k lol, and thank you for all your help and suggestions! :)

Sir Noob, we are very pleased to hear it!
Seriously though, I think all of us at some time in our computer-related life have had a senior noob moment that we cringe about.
All I can say is well done to Carazon for finding the solution.

Good to hear bioNuke! A big thanks to Corazon for knowing what a 720K floppy looks like. Indeed I just looked at a set of 6 1.44MB floppies I have and the hole is in the opposite corner with the write protect slider where your hole is. BTW, this set of floppies is Win XP Pro SP2 set up.

Hehe, thanks everyone! Really glad to hear the solution turned out to be this simple. And I agree, we've all had doh moments in our computing careers.
Gosh, my Amiga days really paid off here (speaking of knowing about floppy disks). :)

I still have the extremely rare Amiga 3000T and a a dozen or so games.

The A3000T in the configuration I own was around $9K in 92/93
here is a shot from a few years ago when I hooked it up and played some Lemmings 2 on it,

I had an Amiga 500 with a GVP A530 expansion board (SCSI harddisk with a massive 270MB capacity and 8MB of "fast RAM" and a 68EC030 CPU at 40MHz plus 68882 FPU). Unfortunately I had to sell everything a few years ago, but it was nice. :)
It's mind-boggling to think nowadays I can emulate an Amiga more powerful than my real system with WinUAE, and still have full speed.
OK, that's enough being off-topic I think. LOL

SAME ISSUE!!!!!! USB Floppy Drive not working in Win7 Ultimate x64
I have the same issue is this person.
EXACT same external floppy drive.
I just bought on Amazon.
I pulled my old floppy discs out, important information on them.
They ARE 1.44 HD discs.
But having SAME errors he had.
What can I DO?
It read 1 out of like 20 discs. It says to format them, yet I can't lose information.
The one disc it ready, I copied information off of it, tried to format it and it said it wouldn't.
Please help!
