This presumably means they installed a 1.44MB drive - which can't format 
both HD disks (these get formatted as 1.44, which is obviously useless) 
and preformatted DD disks (as the narrower heads on HD drives can't 
reliably remove the old formatting from the DD heads). You will have to 
locate unformatted DD disks, or at the very least unformatted HD disks 
on which you would have to stick a bit of non-transparent tape over the 
HD hole.
