i also have some floppys but not sure how many i need would rather use cd but willing to compromize

You can only format CD-RW's.

Try copying and pasting the files onto the CD and see what happens. Any errors?

Don't forget to burn them (write files to CD). Copying and pasting them wont keep them on there.
