Depending on which model you have, one or more of the following
should do the trick.
1. put a piece of opaque tape over the hole in the disk - opposite to the "write protect" tab. Try reformatting on the piano.
2. if that doesn't work, put the disk in a Windows PC/Laptop and reformat to 720Kb (later disks are formatted to 1.44Mb). You may still need to put the piece of tape over the hole on the disk.
3. if you do manage to get hold of unformatted double density disks, the piano should ask you if you want to format it automatically.
