VFX or SD-1?
If an os disk is bad, don't use it but once or twice. It was probably sold to you by a hacker who only wanted your money. You may never see it again. A professional told me once that a system that has an OS installed must have that specific OS installed and that is was designed specially for that machine. If it is a VFX that you have, and it was made by ensoniq during a system change from VFX to VFXsd or SD-1, it will probably need special boot disks. This is because in the process of making a proto-type machine, ensoniq used alot of fix ups from the older version and just kept looking for the right combinations to make it better.

i purchased 2 disks with the sequencer o/s (one with 1.37 the other with 2.10)
when i load them into the drive they spin for about 10 seconds then the screen reads bad
directory. when i try to reload the screen reads not formatted. subsequent attempts to
reload will read not formatted until i re-power the synth and the cycle of bad directory then
not formatted starts again.
because my sd is o/s 2.0 i decided to try formatting the 1.37 disk.... the drive lights up and
the disk spins for a good long time then reads disk not formatted.
these disks i assume are 720 mb because they have 1 hole only.
the seller of the disks is sending another copy, but i'm curious if there are any diagnostics for
the disk drive. i'm assuming the drive is working as i get no other messages on my screen,
any suggestions?
ps - i'm mac based not pc
