	Odd thought... Can the internal 1.44 read both floppies? If so, and
assuming you have a harddrive you could copy the files to the harddrive
then from the harddrive to your other floppy.

	If the GS disk is not recognised at all then it could be you are
missing something like an FST. In this case try copying the information
to a Mac floppy and convert it over on the GS side where you should have
the Mac FST.
