I have some important files on an old computer HD, which I want to transfer to my newer XP computer. I've copied these to 3" floppies and tried to copy on the XP unit. So far, all I get is 'unable to format disk' whenever I move the disk over to the XP unit.

Is it possible to copy discs between Win 95 and XP? The Win 95 is running on FAT and the XP on whatever the newer system is.

I just bought 2 new discs and inserted one in the XP computer, and the whole unit closed down and then booted up and did a CHKDSK.
