Re: [disklavier] HELP! Computer and Disklavier Floppies not compatible.

You have to use the disks that are formatted in the
720k format before the disks will work on your player
and your computer.  If you have the old double density
disks install them in your computer and format them to
the 720k format.  If you have the hd disks(which most
are no) put some tape over the window on the disk that
is not for the write protect and format them on your
computer.  In the format window it gives you the
option as to the format you want.  Chose the 720k
format. When done they will read both on the
disklavier and your computer.  When you format on the
player it puts the disk in the 320k range and your
computer will not see it.  If you have anymore
questions write jjoos99@....  I just went
through all the frustration that you are having now.
