And for those of you who read the title wrong... no. I do not have trouble in that department. (Or am I the only one with that sick a mind?)
Anyway, the twat bastard of a drive says "Disk in A not formatted generic Error." Any idea how to fix the bastard? Worked not long ago. ;/

USB pen for the win
thats what mine was doing with last years end of year project on it because id had it in my bag and my mobile had corrupted it
it did get sorted tho but i dunno how, it services did it for me
It says it even when there is no disk in the drive.
Okies, i'll clean the bastard a bit. I don't want to lose this one if possible, as I changed the LED on it, and soldering it again isn't fun.
Hehhe
It works kidof... if you let it boot up with a disc in it, it will read that one disk... change it.. no. Let it boot with nothing.. no.
Or in otherwords, another one to throw out the window. At leat I know where I can get a few more floppies from.. heheh. :chin:
Well, I have been using them because I can put them up to a WHOLE 1.66 mb now. Woot.
I didnt think it was this but i did have the anomoly of it detecting a floppy if I booted up with one (even though it wouldnt load it!)
Is the light on the floppy drive always on? if so then this is your cuase otherwise just buy a new fdd *nods*
