Re: "Disk Not Formatted" Error

2009-06-23 by evy_newt

Most floppy drives have a DS select jumper that's solder bridged.  Look for that and de-solder it.  Solder the correct bridge and you should be good to go.  Of course a jumpered drive is way easier, but people want too much for them most of the time.  I lucked out and found one at a thrift shop for 90 cents :)

Good luck!
