Riparoot works fine for me using a USB floppy drive (Windoze 8.1, 64 bit).

I'd imagine that using a USB floppy drive with riparoot might be problematic too.

These programs still run OK in Windows 7 and 8.x.

Try right-clicking on rootaripper.exe and selecting "Run as Administrator".  This ensures that the software has elevated privileges to access the disk at a low level.   If it still doens't work, it's possible that anti-virus software may be interfering.

Oh brother, I just spent several hundred $ with Yamahamusicsoft.com on their holiday sale on SmartPianosoft albums and can't backup or even see any of the floppy disks that arrived this week.  Riparoot and rootaripper of course don't work with Win 7 or Win 8.  I should not have junked my old cruddy old XP desktop!!  Does ANYONE have a new version of rootaripper or any utility that will allow for accessing this expensive (maybe useless ) pile of floppies?
