My computer has 2 NTFS Hard disks under XP ang Giebler works fine, but only with 2HD FDs (1440 kb) so the problem seems not to be on the Hard disk side. In fact there is no nned for giebler to use low level call for the hard disk (but it is needed to bypass the "copy protection" on the yamaha FDs) XP has not low level calls for DD disketes, it simply consider this an obsolete media. I think that even the hardware on some new computers can not handle DD FDs, so the tip following may not work on some new coputers. If you have and old clavinova or DKV than only handles 2DD FDs (720kb) then giebler will not work on this disks under XP. Some one give us this tip in the past: 1 Get an old DOS boot FD 2 Boot the computer with this disk (now you will not have acces to the Hard disk) 3 Use the giebler under DOS ahd try to convert the files using only Flopies. 4 When you have finished the conversions, boot XP again and use the conveter files. Very tricky, but should work. --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, Chine-Chine Wang <chine@e...> wrote: > My theory is that Giebler might be able to function under XP provided that > your hard drive's file system is formatted as FAT32 instead of > NTFS.
