Error Messages While Backing Up to Some Floppy Disk Drives
Solution
When you are using Microsoft Backup to back up data to certain models of floppy disk drives, you may receive the following error messages:
Warning: Tape needs to be erased before operation can proceed.
Microsoft Backup unable to read from the disk or network drive. Quit and restart Backup, and then try again.
Warning: This operation has been canceled by the system.
Some models of floppy disk drives require specific timing and delays between disk operations to work properly. The timing implemented by the Windows 95 floppy disk driver is not sufficient for some of these drives.
