3.20. Cannot copy : the system cannot read from the specified device?

I am trying to copy files I have saved on floppy disc and I get the error 'Cannot copy: the system cannot read from the specified device', what's happening?

This error is due to bad media, meaning that the floppy disc has become defective and will need to be replaced. You will want to get a fresh floppy, save your data again, and then try to copy.

The upgrade from Quick Quoter to Estimate Enterprise is like moving from a very nice comfortable pop-up camper into a luxurious motor home with all the comforts. Now THIS is some serious success vehicle!! Don't get me wrong they both get the job of figuring out how much to charge done - the fact that Quick Quoter is free brings this capability to everybody with sense enough to take advantage of your generosity. But, the availability of the additional features in the Enterprise edition already has me thinking bigger in my plans for developing the signmaking part of my business.
