I recently bought a new version of Microsoft space simulator and I was hoping to copy the files off the 3 included floppies. I plugged in my USB floppy drive and the first 2 disks copied fine. Then when I attempt to copy the 3rd disk the drive keeps making a sound and when I try to copy the contents, it manages to copy a file called makeboot.com which is about 10kb, but when it gets to the other file on the disk (Disk3.exe - 130kb) it hangs on the copying and eventually says the disk has an unknown format. Is there any solution to this?

Turns out my problem was some bad sectors, luckily for me I found the DISK3.EXE online so I just formatted the floppy and wrote the files back onto it. Now the 3rd floppy copies just fine.
