Q: Reading Windows Floppy disks?

I am in the process of pulling the data off of my collection of floppy disks. A lot of them are the REALLY ancient 800K kind so I am using a Mac Clasic II running System 7.0.1 to access them.

 

The process is going well but occassionally I/ve run across a PC formatted floppy that the Mac won't read. It just says: This disk is not a Macintosh diskette. Do you want to Initiaize it?

 

I don't of course.

 

 

So how do I give my Classic the ability to access these PC format diskettes?
