During a few last years i have been using computers seriously. And from time to time i somehow manage to receive extremely weird error messages. This is my latest:
I have Windows 95 installation floppys and they are original. I received them second handed. Why i wanted those floppys is because you can not install all hardware without floppys (SATA, SCSI etc...) So i started to format floppy called: "Microsoft Windows 95, Disk 20". Here is the error message that i received when i started to scan that floppy from viruses:

(attached image)

Funny thing is that the disk originally included "Windows 95 installation files", and now Windows operating system cant recognize it. I wonder what the previous owner did with that disk ;)

Feel free, show me yours ;)

I don't get it, how is a floppy read error funny? I'm sticking with Netpositives Haikus though, they crack me up :)

Also, you can add drivers to your Windows CD/DVD/whatever source, very handy. I haven't had a floppy drive for the past 5 years or so.
