Error Message: "No ID on Disk"

Greetings all,
Trying to use some 3 year old 3.5 High Density floppies that have been previously formatted and had data on them. My floppy drive appears to read them then I get the following:
" No ID on Disk"
Have tried Google and found this question has been asked previously on other forums but always without an answer.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Presumably you have no problems reading 'newer' floppies - just the 3 year
old disks.

If so, then I believe it is because of the following:

This article was previously published under Q130627
SYMPTOMS
After you perform a quick format on an unformatted floppy disk in Windows NT
File Manager or MS-DOS Command Prompt, the following error message appears
when you copy large files to the floppy disk:
No ID address mark was found on the floppy disk.
CAUSE
This is expected behavior. When you quick format an unformatted floppy disk,
correct data structures are placed; however, no media test and verification
of cluster usability are performed.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, perform the normal format on an unformatted floppy
disk.
