720kb floppy disk problem

I have an expensive MIDI keyboard that uses 720KB floppies. When ever I try
to access one of these disks with my PC, it crashes (Blue Screen) I tried
reloading floppy driver and tried a new drive. Any ideas?

Microsoft has officially remove 720LB floppy support from XP "format." I am
not certain about any different "read" support.
 
Open your BIOS and see if you have a
floppy drive settings for a 720kb floppy
drive. If you do, enabled it.
 
I know you can't format 720k disks, but I'm pretty sure your supposed to be
able to read them and write them. I guess I'll have to get and old WIN98
machine to work with my MIDI's.

It really takes a first-class 1.44 MB floppy disk drive to
read the Double-Density 720 KB diskettes. If the FDD is not
a 1.44 MB TEAC (if there are no true 720 KB ones), then the
quality might not be good enough. The age and condition of
the 720 KB drive on the MIDI keyboard will also be factors
in the ability for diskettes made in it to be read.

XP doesn't like 720s. Use a win98 pc.
