Re: formatting disks

2003-03-07 by sad_pierrot

i dont have a p2k, nor am i really familiar with double sided disks, 
but if you can use them in a standard pc floppy drive, you could use 
a program like copyqm to rip an image file of your working formatted 
disks, and then apply that image to the new disks, which would then 
be perfect 'formatted' copies of the source disk you used.  i can 
send you the program (an old dos program) if you'd like to give it a 
try.  it's worked for me with my p3k when certain disks didn't want 
to format properly.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
