Floppy disks are not formatted — ZXNet «hardware.zx»

From Sasha Alexandrov To All 5 May 2006

Hello, All I have a problem. I want to format a 3.5" floppy disk for tr-dos. Hole closed, launched SpecDos. After 30 seconds the error Error of creating appears system sector... And the same with similar programs... I tried the wintrd package with the driver. Format with great effort. Need by Press RETRY a hundred times, only then it says OK. The floppy disks are new. What can it do mean?

Hello BYTEMAN I came up with the following dependency: you first need to format it for 720 in FAT, then Use tyr-dos formatters.

I usually format HOBETA35, of all formatters for PC it is the best works (naturally MSDOS or VIN98). The second point, on some drives (I don’t know why), for successful formatting, you need to not completely close the readonly window, i.e. to there was a thin gap left.
