I use floppy discs to transfer Organizer data between my computer

write back to it I have got the error 'Disc not formatted' although
it had read it earlier, and all other disc tried have produced the
same error. Re-booting has made all read/writeable again.

Well its either the floppies you are using being unreliable, or one of
the drives may be slightly out of alignment.

I am puzzled if this is the case why normally all discs can be read
with no problems, then after the error occurs no disc can be read until
the machine has been re-booted (or, as I discovered, an attempt has been
made to format a disc) when once again all discs can be read
