I recently purchased a diskette drive from Amazon. The main reason for the purchase was to retrieve old pictures and files from old diskettes. These diskettes have been collected over the years. When I connect to my PC, it's showing that the drive is there & ready, however, when I input the diskette, it keeps asking me to format the disk & does not read what is on the diskette. Can anyone help?

Not the case. I used it on someone elses computer recently (one of my old computers). I was able to open. That was a windows XP. I'm now using a windows 7
