Matt,

99% chance that the integrity of the floppy has been compromised anyway.
Call the local Kinko's and ask if their machines have a 5 1/4 disk...

I still can't get anything off of the 5.25" floppy drive.

The advice about checking BIOS settings is appreciated, but without details
on how to proceed in doing so, it's next to useless. How about providing a
bit more insight? Thanks in advance.

Matt K.
