I doubt it has anything to do with excel 2003, if you ever opened the file on
the floppy and worked and save the file most likely it has become corrupt. It
seems that windows doesn't rcognize the media but you can try to copy the
file to the HDD and then try opening it, my guess is however that it won't
work due to file corruption
NEVER ever use any sort of media except for transport bewteen computers,
office files will likely be corrupted

Run a disk utility on your floppy - the OS is telling you that it's not
readable.

FWIW, you should NEVER open an Office file directly from a floppy -
Office uses a lot of temporary files, and it's easy to get a disk full
error. Instead, copy the file from your floppy to your hard drive and
then open it.
