How did you open it?

First, copy that file from the Floppy to the harddrive (using windows
explorer). Then open, modify, save there. Then use windows explorer to copy
back to the floppy (if required). (Working directly off removeable media is a
bad thing.)

Try opening excel, then file|open your file to see if that helps.

And if it doesn't, go back to the old pc and get a fresh copy and test it out
(from the harddrive).
