All disks show as unformatted

2002-03-22 by Josiah Hoskins

I just purchase a 1997 C1 Disklavier (DKC100R).
The piano sounds excellent and all was well with the Disklavier.
Then I went on a trip for a couple of days and upon my return
I find that my Disklavier does not appear to read disks anymore.
Whatever disk that I put in (including the PianoSoft example disk)
the Disklavier reports that the disk is unformatted (which is untrue).
Also, if I try to format a disk (of course a 2DD disk) it goes through
the motions (i.e., counting down from 80 to 01 - note it does not show
00) and then it reports "CANNOT FORMAT DISK".
Has anyone seen this behavior?
I am guessing that it is a malfunctioning floppy disk. Other suggestions?
Regards,
