Will work in dos on the same machine.
when trying to format A I use the run command and the little black box
opens, asks for disk, insert disk, black box disappears.
This is a brand new drive.
The old one was working great about two weeks ago.
Now i need to do a floppy, i can't, i know this is a windows problem and
have searched high and low....Anyone.
Thanks
 
Use Windows Explorer. Inser a diskette. Highlight diskette-drive and right-click , and choose "Format" to A: .
 
Did that, get Windows was unable to complete the format.
I formatted the disk i am using with Microscope formatter.
