RE: [disklavier] Please Help!!!!!!!!!!! on MX80 Disklavier

You could try

 

Get the DK tools.  Which only run on Windows 98

 

Format your floppy to 720 mb.  If you then explore the disk with DK explore
(one of the tools) and right click on the icon that it displays (with a red
cross).  Choose make directory file (or something like that) You should then
see that icon without a red cross through it.  Put the disk in your DK and
it will work.  The text with the tools tell you how to use them.  I figured
that bit out for myself though after purchasing a load of DD disks that
didn't seem to want to format in my vintage DK.

 

I've forgotten where to get these tools but people on this site will tell
you.

Sounds like the floppy disk needs to be replaced.
