Hey this may seem like a stupid question coming from someone who builds his own computers and it may be a little off topic but this is the first time it has come up for me and I figured that someone here may be able to help.

Does anyone here know of a floppy drive that will work with Windows 7? I don't care if it's internal or external, I found a box a while ago filled with old floppy disk that have some old stories I worked on back in the day and I have program to convert them so Open office will be able to read them but so far all of the USB floppy drives I have tried just will not be read by Windows 7 and that is the only computer I have at the moment.

If you know of a floppy drive that will work with W7 and could point me in it's direction I would be grateful.

Thank you for your time.

Windows 7 does not have floppy support, instal a virtual machine with Windows XP or below, a 4GB HDD and 512 MB of RAM should do it for the VM.

I have an audible account and I buy one book a month from them and it is a great value, there is just one problem I can't listen to them when I am away from my computer in my bedroom because I can't stream and my iPod died. I can download them just fine but that is it.

I have tried googleing ways to remove the compy protection so I can move them onto my generic MP3 player but nothing that came up on the search seems to work. I know this is a long shot but I was wondering if anyone here had ever had to remove the copy protection from a audible file and if so how you did it.

Thank you for your time.

I worked on audible a few years ago and you can't remove the protection (or maybe you can but is a pain) but there is a list of ''supported playback devices'', some of them are cheap MP3 players so that is your best bet.
