Re: Unformatted disk

Hi

Sorry to hear you still have problems.

As the DKV will play your Pianosoft disk ok then we can asume the 
floppy drive is ok. If you still have the files on your PC then I 
would format some new floppies in the DKV. Some drives are sometimes 
slightly out of true and the pre-formatted ones may not exactly match 
the DKV. So by formatting the floppies on the DKV and then copying 
the files again may help.

BTW  can you read the bad floppies on the PC?
