Error 0x800706F9, Disk media is not recognized, It may not be formatted

While the floppy diѕk is a thing of the past, even today some Windows PC users may оccasionally use it for accesѕіng older files on the drive. Onе of the common iѕsues that have been reported by floppy userѕ is the Error code 0x800706F9.

Error 0x800706F9, ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_MEDIA, The disk media is not recognized. It may not be formatted.

Users have reported that they experience Error 0X800706F9 while they are trying to copy content files from a 3.5 floppy disk that was previously written on Windows XP or Windows 2000.

As a floppy disk user, you are likely to see an error – “An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file”, while using MS office documents. However, when you get an error with message “Error 0x800706F9: The disk media is not recognized. It may not be formatted”, there could be several reasons responsible ranging from a driver issue to hardware or local storage issue, corrupted excel file or word file, or corrupted or missing system file. Here is the list complete of why this is happening (check if you are experiencing any of these).

What causes Error 0x800706F9?

• Driver issue due to OS change – As the floppy disk was written using an older OS, driver inconsistency might be the reason for this issue
• Moving file restrictions – If the original file was created with inherited moving restrictions, Windows might be having issues moving it on your local storage
• Corrupted MS Excel File – This happens when the MS Excel file being accessed is corrupted in nature
• Corrupted MS Word File – Similar to Excel file this can happen when the MS Word file being accessed is corrupted in nature
• Format files of Floppy Disk – This happens due to some kind of corruption that is affecting the format files on your floppy disk
• Hardware issue – If the floppy disk has an underlying physical damage then also you are likely to get 0X800706F9 In such as case resolution is not possible

Therefore, having come across scenarios that might be causing the 0X800706F9, here is a list of methods that can fix Error 0x800706F9.

2] Saving the document in Rich Text (Applies to Excel & Word)

Opening the file directly from the floppy disk and saving the file to a different format like Rich Text before moving it on your Windows 10 HDD / SSD may just resolve the issue. Here is how to do it.

• Double-click on the problematic document from your floppy drive to open it
• Click on the File option from the top-left corner
• Click on Save as > Click on Browse and select a location on your HDD

This method is applicable only for Microsoft Excel files. There are times when the file is corrupted to the point where your OS is unable to move it safely on the local storage. In such a case, the problem can be fixed by forcing the utility to Open and Repair the file. Here is how to do it.

1. Open the file that is currently saved on the floppy disk with your MS Excel.
2. Now click on File from the ribbon menu at the top, and then click on Open from the vertical menu.
3. Inside the Open menu, click on Browse from the context menu.
4. Inside the Open window, navigate to the location where the Excel file is saved, then click on it once to select it, then click on the down arrow of Open and click on Open and repair.
5. At the Microsoft Excel repair prompt, click on Repair and wait for the operation to complete.
6. Now run the Step 4 again. You will see the same prompt again, however this time click on Extract Data and choose a location on your HDD and wait for the operation to complete.

4] Recovering the Word file
