...fonts to ones I can actually read?
I purchased a USB Floppy Disk Drive in an attempt to move information from a 1.44 mb floppy disk dated back in November of 2009. This information is very important to me which is why I originally put it on this disk for safekeeping. Little did I realize that with time these updated computers no longer have floppy drives on them, which is why I ended up having to purchase the device to get it off the disk and unto my computer. It's called "Sabrent" and it worked very well but when I went to open the file into a program, all these crazy-looking fonts and symbols popped up in the place of the actual english-typed document. Now I know when I originally put my information on the floppy drive I did it in english. A few of the words are still readable but 99% had turned into stuff not recognizable. It consists of letters with all sorts of other strange symbols; upside down question marks, something that looks like the drawing of a sun, letters and numbers with dots on top of them. Just strange stuff I never saw before. My computer has Windows 7.
I tried opening it up with several programs like Works, WordPad and Notepad but still nothing. I am not a computer expert but I can get around a computer very well but this is new to me. Why would all my document I typed in english change to unrecognizable symbols and is it even possible to get back my original work? Any help will sure be appreciated and thank you.
